How does Git Expert handle large, messy changes?

The skill analyzes your uncommitted work and suggests splitting large diffs into logical, atomic commits to maintain a clean and readable project history.

Does this skill support Conventional Commits?

Yes, Git Expert is configured to use the Conventional Commits format (feat, fix, docs, etc.) by default to ensure your logs are professional and machine-readable.

Does Git Expert prevent me from committing secrets?

Yes, one of its core best practices is to scan for sensitive data and warn you—or refuse to commit—if secrets are detected in the staging area.

Can I use this to understand why a specific line of code changed?

Absolutely. Use the history analysis capabilities to trace file evolution and search previous commit messages to find the specific context behind any code change.
