Smart Git

Smart Git

Use this skill when you want to quickly commit and push current repository changes with a high-signal commit message.

Defaults

• Assume current local working changes are intended to be committed and pushed.
• Include inline diff in commit body by default.
• Default maximum inline diff lines: 200.
• If no upstream exists, create one on first push.

Workflow

1) Context Snapshot

Collect and report:

• Current branch
• Upstream branch (if configured)
• Ahead/behind status
• Whether there are local changes to commit

2) Fetch and Pre-Commit Diff

1. Determine current branch.
2. Fetch origin/<branch> if it exists.
3. Compute diff stats against origin/<branch>.
4. Build a truncated unified diff (max 200 lines unless user overrides).

3) Stage and Commit

1. If there are no changes, exit cleanly and report "nothing to commit".
2. Stage all changes.
3. Generate commit message with:
   • Title: short branch-aware summary
   • Changes Summary: section (diff stats)
   • Detailed Diffs section (truncated unified diff)
4. Commit staged changes.

4) Push Strategy

1. If upstream is missing, run first push with upstream set.
2. Otherwise push normally.
3. If push fails because remote moved ahead:
   • Pull/rebase onto remote branch
   • Retry push once
4. If retry still fails, report conflict state and stop.

Commit Message Template

<short summary>

Branch: <branch>

Changes Summary:
<diff --stat output>

Detailed Diffs (truncated to <N> lines):
<unified diff snippet>

Validation

After push, verify:

• Last commit message contains Changes Summary:
• Last commit message contains Detailed Diffs
• Local branch is synced (or conflict state is clearly reported)
• No staged leftovers remain unexpectedly

Failure Handling

• No remote branch: continue with local commit and report push not possible
• Rebase conflicts: stop, report exact next manual commands
• Empty diff/stat output: still commit with clear note that remote baseline was unavailable

Output Expectations

Always return a concise final summary containing:

• Branch pushed
• Commit SHA
• Upstream target
• Ahead/behind result
• Any manual follow-up required
