Deploying to GitHub

This skill provides a standardized workflow for pushing local changes to the GitHub repository, ensuring consistency in commit messages and process.

When to use this skill

• When you have finished a task and need to save changes remotely.
• When the user mentions "push to github", "save changes", or "subir cambios".
• To verify the current status of the repository before committing.

Workflow

1. Verification

Check what files have changed to ensure no unwanted files are included.

git status

2. Staging

Add changes to the staging area.

git add .

3. Committing

Create a descriptive commit message based on the work done.

git commit -m "feat: [brief description of changes]"

4. Pushing

Push the changes to the remote repository.

git push

Best Practices

• Descriptive Messages: Use prefixes like feat:, fix:, refactor:, or docs: in commit messages.
• Atomic Commits: Group related changes together in a single commit.
• Check Paths: Ensure the portable node path is correctly set if running git hooks (though usually not necessary for standard git).

Troubleshooting

• If git push fails, check if there are remote changes to pull: git pull --rebase.
• Ensure you have the necessary permissions for the repository.
• Verify that the portable Node.js path is in your environment if you have pre-commit hooks that require node.
