gitsync

Fast parallel git sync across repos with project code resolution.

Quick Reference

# By project code
/sync naac lev clawd chezmoi    # Sync named projects
/sync all                        # Sync all dirty repos
/sync all --dry-run              # Preview what would sync

# By path
/sync ~/proj1 ~/proj2            # Sync specific paths
/sync .                          # Sync current directory

# Options
--dry-run                        # Preview without changes

Project Codes

The registry at ~/.claude/skills/gitsync/projects.json maps codes to paths:

Code	Path
naac	~/k/apps/production/naac
lev	~/lev
clawd	~/clawd
chezmoi	~/.local/share/chezmoi
dotfiles	~/.dotfiles
leviathan	~/digital/leviathan
clawdbot	~/.clawdbot

Output Key

Symbol	Meaning
b	bd flush (daemon running)
B	bd sync (no daemon)
C	Committed
P	Pulled
U	Pushed
.	Skipped (nothing to do)
D	Dirty (dry-run only)

What It Does

1. Resolves project codes → paths via registry
2. For each target:
   • git add .
   • git commit -m "sync MM-DD HH:MM" (if dirty)
   • git pull --no-rebase
   • git push
3. Discovers and syncs:
   • All git worktrees
   • All submodules (recursive)

Sync All Mode

/sync all scans all registered projects and syncs those with uncommitted changes.

/sync all              # Sync all dirty repos
/sync all --dry-run    # List dirty repos without syncing

Agent Integration

When the script exits with code 1 (conflicts detected), the agent MUST:

Step 1: Analyze Conflicts

# For each conflicted repo reported by gitsync:
cd <conflicted-repo>
git status --porcelain | grep "^UU"  # List conflicted files
git diff --name-only --diff-filter=U  # Alternative

Step 2: Present Action Dashboard

Use AskUserQuestion with these options:

header: "Merge Conflict"
question: "How should I resolve conflicts in <repo>?"
options:
  - "Accept ours (keep local changes)"
  - "Accept theirs (take remote changes)"
  - "Smart merge (launch subagent)"
  - "Skip (I'll handle manually)"

Step 3: Execute Resolution

Accept ours:

git checkout --ours .
git add .
git commit -m "resolve: accept local changes"
git push

Accept theirs:

git checkout --theirs .
git add .
git commit -m "resolve: accept remote changes"
git push

Smart merge (subagent):

Launch Task agent with subagent_type="code-refactoring:code-reviewer"
Prompt: "Analyze and resolve merge conflicts in <repo>.
         Show me the conflicts, explain what each side changed,
         and propose a merged solution that preserves both intents."

Step 4: Re-run Sync

After resolution, re-run gitsync <repo> to complete the push.

Conflict Resolution (Manual)

If conflicts detected:

cd <conflicted-repo>
git status                    # see conflicts
git checkout --ours <file>    # take local
git checkout --theirs <file>  # take remote
git add . && git commit       # complete merge

Then re-run /sync to continue.

Execution

~/.claude/skills/gitsync/scripts/gitsync.sh [codes|paths...] [--dry-run]

Installation

ln -sf ~/.claude/skills/gitsync/scripts/gitsync.sh ~/.claude/bin/gitsync

Technique Map

• Identify scope — Determine what the skill applies to before executing.
• Follow workflow — Use documented steps; avoid ad-hoc shortcuts.
• Verify outputs — Check results match expected contract.
• Handle errors — Graceful degradation when dependencies missing.
• Reference docs — Load references/ when detail needed.
• Preserve state — Don't overwrite user config or artifacts.

Technique Notes

Skill-specific technique rationale. Apply patterns from the skill body. Progressive disclosure: metadata first, body on trigger, references on demand.

Prompt Architect Overlay

Role Definition: Specialist for gitsync domain. Executes workflows, produces artifacts, routes to related skills when needed.

Input Contract: Context, optional config, artifacts from prior steps. Depends on skill.

Output Contract: Artifacts, status, next-step recommendations. Format per skill.

Edge Cases & Fallbacks: Missing context—ask or infer from workspace. Dependency missing—degrade gracefully; note in output. Ambiguous request—clarify before proceeding.
