How does this skill help with messy commit histories?

It provides precise instructions for interactive rebasing, allowing you to squash minor fixes, reword messages, and reorder commits into a logical sequence before merging.

What is the benefit of using Git worktrees over stashing?

Worktrees allow you to have multiple branches checked out in different directories simultaneously, enabling you to fix an urgent bug in one folder while keeping your long-running feature work active in another.

Can I recover a deleted branch with this skill?

Yes, the skill utilizes Git reflog patterns to identify the last known commit hash of a deleted branch and provides the specific commands needed to restore it.

Does this skill help with merge conflicts?

Absolutely. It provides strategies for both rebase and merge conflicts, including using tools like cherry-pick --continue and selective file checkouts to resolve complex overlaps.
