What common errors are covered by the assistant?

It covers authentication failures, merge conflicts, local-remote sync issues, and accidental exposure of sensitive credentials.

How does this help with authentication errors?

The skill identifies why your password failed—usually due to GitHub's 2021 policy change—and guides you through setting up a Personal Access Token (PAT) or SSH keys.

Can it help if I accidentally committed an API key?

Yes, it provides a specific workflow to help you identify exposed secrets and explains how to remove them from your repository's commit history.

Do I need to know Git commands to use this?

No, the assistant explains what each command does and can execute the necessary steps for you to resolve your specific issue.

Is this skill suitable for Git beginners?

Absolutely. It includes a dedicated mode to explain the fundamental differences between Git (the local tool) and GitHub (the cloud platform).
