Quick Reference

# Sync workflow
/git-sync              # See what's new
/git-pull              # Get changes
/git-push              # Push changes

# Branch workflow
/git-branch feat/xyz   # Create branch
/git-switch main       # Switch branch
/git-branches          # See all branches

# Integration
/git-merge-main        # Update from main
/git-rebase            # Rebase on main
/git-squash            # Clean up history

Gotchas

Interactive rebase (git rebase -i) requires a TTY and fails in Claude Code — use git rebase (non-interactive) or git rebase --onto
git checkout is ambiguous (branches vs files) — prefer git switch for branches, git restore for files
Force-push (--force) to protected branches is rejected by most remotes — use --force-with-lease which fails if remote has new commits
git stash doesn't stash untracked files — use git stash -u to include untracked
git pull with diverged branches creates merge commits — use git pull --rebase or git pull --ff-only to avoid surprise merges
git add . stages everything including .env files and secrets — always use git add <specific-files> or check git status first
