What happens if I have uncommitted changes?

The skill includes a safety hook that detects modified files and blocks the branching process, prompting you to commit or stash your work first to prevent data loss.

How does this skill determine the branch name?

It uses a resolution script that identifies appropriate prefixes like feature/, fix/, or chore/ based on GitHub issue labels, titles, or keywords in your descriptive text.

Can I specify a source branch other than main?

Yes, you can provide the source branch as an argument (e.g., /git:branch develop 123) or define a custom MAIN_BRANCH in your project's .env.claude file.

Why does it pull from origin before creating a branch?

This ensures you are branching from the most recent code on the server, significantly reducing the risk of merge conflicts and 'out-of-sync' development.

Does it automatically set up remote tracking?

No, it intentionally leaves tracking for your first push (git push -u) to prevent accidental commits from being pushed to the parent or source branch.

开发者工具

Automates the creation of standardized Git branches from issues or descriptions with built-in safety checks and naming conventions.

This skill streamlines the Git branching workflow by enforcing development best practices and organizational naming conventions. It automatically handles the critical checkout and pull sequence from a source branch before creating a new branch, ensuring your work always starts from the latest upstream commit to prevent future merge conflicts. It intelligently parses GitHub issue numbers or descriptive text to generate formatted branch names—such as feature/123-login-fix—while checking for uncommitted changes to prevent data loss and integrating with project-specific configurations via .env files.
