git-workflow

A guide for carrying out the main Git tasks used in team development, from setting up a repository to releasing changes. It covers four ways of organising branches and collaboration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialise repositories, create and merge branches, commit and sync changes, open pull requests, resolve conflicts, release versions, and apply urgent fixes.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a consistent process for making changes, sharing them, handling conflicts, and preparing releases. This reduces uncertainty when several developers work on the same code.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

git-workflow 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.

Git Workflow

Overview

A complete git workflow skill covering the full development lifecycle — from repository setup through release. Supports four workflow models based on team size and release cadence.

Workflow Models

1. Centralized Workflow

All developers commit directly to main. Best for small teams or SVN migrations.

  • Single branch (main)
  • Pull with rebase to stay linear
  • Conflict resolution before push

2. Feature Branch Workflow

All development happens on dedicated branches. Core idea: main never contains broken code.

  • Create a branch per feature or fix
  • Open a pull request for code review
  • Merge into main after approval

3. Gitflow Workflow

Strict branching model designed around project releases. Extends Feature Branch with release management.

  • main — production-ready code
  • develop — integration branch for features
  • feature/* — new features branch from develop
  • release/* — release preparation branches
  • hotfix/* — urgent fixes branch from main

4. Forking Workflow

Each developer has their own server-side fork. Common in open source.

  • Fork the upstream repository
  • Clone your fork locally
  • Push to your fork, open PRs against upstream

Workflow Selection Guide

Criteria Centralized Feature Branch Gitflow Forking
Team size 1–3 2–10 5+ Any (open source)
Release cadence Continuous Continuous Scheduled Varies
Branch complexity Minimal Low High Medium
Code review Optional Required Required Required
Best for Small teams, simple projects Most teams Versioned releases Open source, external contributors

Resolve Merge Conflicts actions/resolve-merge-conflicts.md Handle conflicts during rebase or merge
Merge Pull Request actions/merge-pull-request.md Merge an approved PR into the target branch
Create Release actions/create-release.md Create release branches and tags (Gitflow)
Create Hotfix actions/create-hotfix.md Create and merge hotfix branches (Gitflow)

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.

git-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository willvelida/code-minions (23 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 908 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
