How does it handle stacked branches?

The skill provides a bottom-up integration strategy, guiding you to merge base branches first, update the remaining stack, and then proceed with dependent features to avoid complex conflict chains.

Why is a snapshot created before merging?

Snapshots act as a safety net, allowing you to use 'but undo' or 'but oplog' to restore your exact workspace state if the merge or integration process encounters unexpected errors.

What is the preferred way to ship a branch with this skill?

The preferred method is using 'but publish', which handles pushing the code and creating the Pull Request in one command while staying within the GitButler workspace.

Does this skill work with standard Git branches?

This skill is specifically optimized for GitButler's virtual branch system, though it utilizes standard Git commands to perform the final integration into your main branch.

開発者ツール

Streamlines the process of merging, shipping, and cleaning up GitButler virtual branches with automated safety snapshots.

概要

This skill automates the final phase of the GitButler development workflow, guiding users through the transition from active development to production-ready code. It provides structured pathways for multiple integration methods, including preferred GitButler forge publishing, direct git merges, and manual Pull Request workflows. By enforcing pre-integration safety snapshots and providing clear cleanup routines, it ensures that shipping code remains a safe, reversible, and organized process within the GitButler virtual branch ecosystem.
