Git Push Skill

Automates Git workflow to save your notes with meaningful commit messages and push to remote repository.

Usage

Invoke with /push or ask Claude to save/commit your changes.

Basic Usage

/push

With Custom Message

/push "Completed project planning"

What This Skill Does

1. Stages All Changes

   • Adds all modified files
   • Includes new files
   • Removes deleted files

2. Creates Smart Commit Message

   • Uses provided message, or
   • Auto-generates from changes
   • Includes date/time stamp
   • Summarizes key modifications

3. Syncs with Remote

   • Pulls latest changes (if enabled)
   • Pushes to remote repository
   • Handles merge conflicts gracefully

Commit Message Format

Automatic Messages

Based on your changes:

Daily note for 2024-01-15 + 3 project updates
- Added: Daily Notes/2024-01-15.md
- Modified: Projects/Learning Spanish/notes.md
- Modified: Goals/2. Monthly Goals.md

With Timestamp

[2024-01-15 09:30] Completed weekly review

Workflow Integration

Morning Routine

/daily          # Create daily note
# ... work on notes ...
/push "Morning planning complete"

End of Day

# Complete daily reflection
/push           # Auto-message with summary

After Weekly Review

/weekly         # Run weekly review
/push "Weekly review - Week 3"

Git Operations

Standard Flow

1. git add . - Stage all changes
2. git commit -m "message" - Create commit
3. git pull --rebase origin main - Get remote changes
4. git push origin main - Push to remote

Safety Checks

• Verify Git repository exists
• Check for uncommitted changes
• Ensure remote is configured
• Validate branch exists

Conflict Handling

If conflicts occur:

1. Auto-resolve attempts (favor local for notes)
2. If manual resolution needed, guide through process
3. Never force push without explicit request

Security Considerations

Never Commit

• Passwords or credentials
• API keys
• Personal identification
• Financial information

Use .gitignore for

private/
credentials.md
.env
.obsidian/workspace*
.obsidian/cache
.trash/
.DS_Store

Troubleshooting

Push Rejected?

Pull first, then push again:

git pull --rebase origin main
git push origin main

Not a Git Repository?

git init
git remote add origin [URL]

Large Files Issue?

Consider Git LFS for images/attachments.

Integration

Works with:

• /daily - Commit after creating daily note
• /weekly - Commit after weekly review
• /onboard - No git needed for context loading
• Auto-commit hook for automatic saves
