Git Workflow (Modern Team Collaboration)

Use modern Git collaboration patterns: GitHub Flow for continuous deploy, trunk-based for scale, Conventional Commits for automation, stacked diffs for large features.

Use this skill to choose a branching model, standardize PR discipline, enforce commit conventions, and harden repository settings for safe collaboration.

Quick Start

1. Identify constraints (team size, release cadence, CI maturity, compliance).
2. Choose a branching strategy using the decision tree.
3. Apply the baseline repo settings (branch protection, approvals, checks, merge strategy).
4. Use the relevant reference doc for implementation details.
5. If asked "best practice in 2026", verify via web search using data/sources.json as a starting source list.
