What this skill does
Cursor Git Integration Overview Use Cursor's Git features as a view and drafting aid while preserving repository branch protection, reviews, signed checks, and human ownership of commits/merges. Prerequisites A clean or recoverable working tree, repository contribution rules, and correct remote identity. Required checks and reviewer/approval expectations for the target branch. Instructions 1. Inspect status and diff before staging; stage only reviewed, intended files. 2. Draft but verify commit messages and never include secrets or unrelated changes. 3. Run required local checks, push through the normal branch/PR workflow, and resolve feedback with evidence. 4. Use revert or a new corrective commit for mistakes rather than rewriting shared history. Output A scoped, reviewable Git change with validation evidence and a normal revert path. Error Handling Condition Safe response --- --- Working tree has unrelated changes Separate/stash them before staging. Generated commit message misstates work Edit it to match the actual diff. Protected branch rejects push Use the approved PR/check process; do not weaken controls. Examples Review a Cursor-generated diff, stage only its intended files, run the focused suite, and push a topic branch for review. If an accidental file is staged, unstage it and recheck the diff before committing. Leverage Cursor's AI features within Git workflows: AI-generated commit messages, @Git context for code review, merge conflict resolution, and branch management.
