description	Safely sync a branch with origin/main using fetch + rebase, with an optional "accept current" conflict policy.

git-sync-rebase

Instructions

Use this skill when you need to:

• commit local changes (if requested),
• fetch from origin,
• rebase onto origin/main,
• resolve conflicts using a deterministic policy.

Workflow

Inspect

• Run git status --porcelain=v1 -b
• If needed: git diff --stat

Fetch

• Run git fetch --prune origin

(Optional) Add + commit

• Stage: git add -A (or the user-specified scope)
• Commit: require a user-provided message (ask if missing)

Rebase

• Run git rebase origin/main

If conflicts happen

• List conflicted files: git diff --name-only --diff-filter=U

If the user requested “accept current”:

• For each conflicted file:

  • git checkout --ours -- <file>
  • git add <file>

• Continue: git rebase --continue

• If Git reports an empty commit: git rebase --skip

Verify

• git status -sb should be clean

Safety

• Do not force-push unless explicitly requested.
• If a force push is required after rebase, prefer git push --force-with-lease and ask for confirmation.
