What this skill does
Git CLI Purpose This skill provides access to basic git commands for inspecting repository state. Use this for read-only operations like viewing diffs, logs, and status. Command Reference Repository State Action Command -------- --------- Status git status Remote URLs git remote -v Current branch git branch --show-current All branches git branch -a Viewing Changes Action Command -------- --------- Unstaged changes git diff Staged changes git diff --cached All changes git diff HEAD Changes vs branch git diff <branch>...HEAD Changed files only git diff --name-only Stat summary git diff --stat History Action Command -------- --------- Recent commits git log --oneline -n 10 Branch commits git log main..HEAD --oneline Commit details git log -1 --format=full File history git log --oneline -- <file> Blame git blame <file> Inspection Action Command -------- --------- Show commit git show <commit> Show file at commit git show <commit>:<file> List tracked files git ls-files Behavioral Guidelines 1. Read-only: This skill is for inspection only, not for making changes 2. Prefer short output: Use --oneline, --stat, or -n flags to limit output 3. Branch detection: Use git branch --show-current to identify the current branch 4. Platform detection: Use git remote -v to determine if GitHub or GitLab, then use the appropriate skill
