Skill49 starsChanged 9 months agoMITView on GitHub
Guide for using git according to my preferences. Use it when you're asked to commit something.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 46 edited versions we read keep these.
2
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 17
Always enclose code identifiers with backticks.
- Very specific: line 18
Always refer to Go code identifiers including the package name, like in html.UserPage above.
- Distinctive: line 20
Don't mention that you've updated tests, that's assumed.
- Distinctive: line 24
Don't amend previous commits unless instructed to.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 46 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
git
Most of git usage is what you already know, so depend on that. This is skill is just a refinement.
Branch naming
Just name the branch a short sentence seperated with dashes. Example: add-some-feature. Don't use feat/, hotfix/ etc. prefixes.
Commit messages
- Always enclose code identifiers with backticks. Example: "Add
html.UserPagecomponent" - Always refer to Go code identifiers including the package name, like in
html.UserPageabove. Fields and methods on structs can be referred withmodel.User.Name. - Ask me about any Github issues that should be referenced. Reference them at the end of the commit message like this: "See #123, #234". If the commit fixes one or more issues, use "Fixes #123, fixes #234" instead (the double "fixes" is important for Github to actually close the issue).
- Don't mention that you've updated tests, that's assumed.
Committing
- Don't amend previous commits unless instructed to. When committing after the first commit on a branch, just commit with a simple message (e.g. "fixing …"), because the branch will most times be squashed on Github anyway.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.
Used alongsideProjects with it also use databases, devops and 9 more.
Other files people use alongside this one.
Files found in the same public projects as a version of this one, more often than they turn up anywhere else. Each project counts once, large collections count for less, and this file's own repository is left out.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
