Git Pushing Fast
Overview
Commit and push the current repository's local changes on the current branch with a fast, safe single-branch workflow.
The default output is one focused Conventional Commit plus a push to the tracked remote branch. Analyze the actual diff, stage the requested change set, generate the commit message from the change content, and write a segmented body for non-trivial changes so reviewers can quickly see what changed by topic.
This workflow handles ordinary single-branch handoff requests such as saving current work to the remote, without branch merging, history rewriting, or PR creation.
Conventional Commit Rules
Base format:
<type>[optional scope]: <description>
[body: optional only for trivial changes; required and segmented for non-trivial changes]
[footer(s): required for breaking changes; optional for relevant issue references]
For this skill, the body is optional only for trivial commits. For non-trivial changes, write a segmented body and include a Tests: or localized equivalent section when tests, validators, hooks, or manual verification ran.
Types:
| Type | Use for |
|---|
feat | New user-facing or product capability |
fix | Bug fix |
docs | Documentation-only change |
style | Formatting/style change with no logic impact |
refactor | Code restructure with no feature or bug fix |
perf | Performance improvement |
test | Test-only or test coverage change |
build | Build system, dependency, or packaging change |
ci | CI or automation config change |
chore | Maintenance or miscellaneous change |
revert | Revert a previous commit |
Breaking changes:
- Use
! after the type or scope, such as feat(api)!: remove legacy field.
- Add a
BREAKING CHANGE: footer when the behavioral contract changes.
Message style:
- Use the repository's existing commit language.
- Write the subject in present tense and imperative mood, such as
fix login redirect.
- Keep the subject under 72 characters when practical.
- Reference issues in the body or footer when relevant, such as
Closes #123 or Refs #456.
When to Use
Use this skill when the user asks to:
- Commit and push the current work
- Push this, save to remote, or finish a normal single-branch handoff
- Create one Conventional Commit from staged and unstaged changes
- Include a readable commit body that groups changes by feature area, UI area, tests, docs, or validation
Do Not Use
Do not use this skill for:
- Multi-branch flows that merge a work branch into a primary branch
- Force-push, rebase, squash, amend, or history-rewrite requests
- Pull request creation unless the user explicitly asks for it after the push
- Code review, release notes, weekly reports, or changelog generation
- Destructive commands such as
git reset --hard or git checkout -- <file>
Instructions
Follow this workflow in order. Stop and report the blocker instead of guessing when the target repository, branch, or push destination is unclear.
-
Inspect the repository.
- Run
git status --short, git branch --show-current, and git remote -v.
- Check the upstream with
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref --symbolic-full-name @{u} when possible.
- Review the staged diff with
git diff --cached --stat and git diff --cached; if nothing is staged, review git diff --stat and git diff.
- Use
git status --porcelain when script-friendly status parsing is useful.
- Never discard or revert user changes.
-
Stage changes.
- If the user asked to commit everything, run
git add -A.
- If the user requested a narrower scope, stage only that scope.
- Use file-specific adds, path patterns, or
git add -p only when the requested scope requires logical grouping.
- Re-run
git status --short and verify the intended files are staged.
- Never leave known secrets staged for commit, including
.env, credential files, private keys, or tokens.
-
Build the commit message.
- Use Conventional Commits:
type(scope): concise summary in the repository's existing commit language.
- Choose the type and scope from the actual diff, not from filenames alone.
- For non-trivial changes, include a segmented body with 2-5 short sections.
- Each section title should name the affected area, followed by bullet points.
- Include a
Tests: or localized equivalent section when tests, validators, hooks, or manual verification ran.
Example segmented body:
fix(module): update component behavior
Behavior:
- Adjust the default state for the affected component.
- Keep existing behavior unchanged for unsupported input.
Implementation:
- Move repeated logic into a small helper.
- Update related configuration to use the new helper.
Tests:
- Add coverage for the updated behavior.
- Run the relevant validator before pushing.
-
Commit.
- Use
git commit with multiple -m arguments or an editor-free equivalent so the body is preserved.
- Do not use
--no-verify.
- If hooks or validation fail, fix the failure and retry the commit.
-
Push.
- If the current branch has an upstream, run
git push.
- If there is no upstream, run
git push -u origin <current_branch> unless the repository or user specifies another remote.
- If the push is rejected because the remote moved, run
git fetch and inspect before retrying.
- Do not force-push unless the user explicitly requested force-push and the risk has been confirmed.
- Never force-push to
main or master.
-
Report.
- Keep the final response concise.
- Include the commit hash, branch, remote push result, and validation that ran.
- If the host app supports Git directives, emit them only after the matching action succeeds.
Safety Protocol
- Never update global or system Git config.
- Never run destructive commands such as
git reset --hard or git checkout -- <file> unless explicitly requested.
- Never skip hooks.
- Never commit secrets.
