Why are squash and rebase merges disabled in Git Flow mode?

Git Flow relies on a visible merge history to track feature integration and releases; squash or rebase merges destroy this history, which breaks the Git Flow model.

Does this skill require the GitHub CLI?

Yes, it uses the 'gh' CLI tool to interact with your GitHub repositories and apply advanced branch protection and security settings.

Does this skill support both Git Flow and GitHub Flow?

Yes, it can configure both Git Flow and GitHub Flow, adjusting branch structures and merge settings based on the chosen methodology.

Can I use this for personal or solo projects?

Yes, the skill includes a 'Solo Development' mode that applies protection rules without strictly enforcing admin restrictions, allowing for flexibility while maintaining structure.

Deployment & DevOps

Configures professional Git workflows and branch protection rules to ensure secure and structured repository management.

The git-workflow-setup skill automates the implementation of Git Flow or GitHub Flow architectures within your development environment. It guides users through selecting the appropriate security level and development style, then programmatically creates branch structures, applies branch protection rules via GitHub API, and configures repository-level merge settings. By enforcing best practices like Secret Scanning, CODEOWNERS, and preventing history-destroying squash merges in Git Flow, it ensures your codebase remains organized, secure, and ready for collaborative development.
