# Apply Git branching, commit, and pull request best practices through Git Workflow Skill

Give an agent a portable Git workflow playbook for branch strategy, commit hygiene, pull requests, merge choices, and CI-aware collaboration.

## Prerequisites

Git repository, agent that supports Agent Skills, optional GitHub or GitLab CI and pull-request workflow tooling

## Installation

Choose whichever fits your setup:

1. Copy this skill folder into your local skills directory.
2. Clone the repo and symlink or copy the skill into your agent workspace.
3. Add the repo as a git submodule if you manage shared skills centrally.
4. Install it through your internal provisioning or packaging workflow.
5. Download the folder directly from GitHub and place it in your skills collection.

Install command or upstream instructions:

```
npx skills add https://github.com/netresearch/git-workflow-skill --skill git-workflow
```
