managing-git

A guide to Git, the version-control system used to track code changes and collaborate, covering branches, commits, merges, releases, and reviews.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose a branching model, create and merge branches, resolve conflicts, prepare releases, review code, and keep repository history clean.
Why use it?
It helps teams avoid confusing histories, unsafe merges, unclear commit messages, and disorganized release work.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

managing-git scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Branching Strategies

Git Flow

Branch Purpose Branches From Merges Into
main Production code - -
develop Integration main release
feature/* New features develop develop
release/* Release prep develop main, develop
hotfix/* Production fixes main main, develop

Use when: Scheduled releases, multiple versions supported

GitHub Flow

Use when: Continuous deployment, simple workflow

Trunk-Based Development

          Small, frequent commits (often direct to main)

Use when: High trust teams, strong CI/CD, frequent deploys

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

managing-git is a skill published in the GitHub repository CloudAI-X/opencode-workflow (274 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 2,664 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
