version-control-guidelines

What problem does it solve?

This Skill establishes clear Git version control guidelines, ensuring consistent branching strategies, commit messages, and pull request processes. It minimizes merge conflicts, improves code review efficiency, and maintains a clean, traceable project history for both individual and team development.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Branching Strategies: Defines distinct Git Flow models for individual (simple 2-branch) and team (Git Flow-like) development, optimizing for project scale.
• Conventional Commits: Enforces a structured commit message format (<type>: <subject>) for clear, automated change logging and release notes.
• Pull Request Guidelines: Provides best practices for PR titles, descriptions, review processes, and conflict resolution, ensuring high-quality code integration.
• Use Case: A team is struggling with inconsistent Git history and difficult code reviews. They adopt this skill to standardize their feature branch workflow, enforce Conventional Commits, and define clear PR review criteria, leading to smoother collaboration and faster releases.
