Git Branching and Merging

Agent skill
1 skill

Manage Git branches and integrate work — merge vs rebase decisions, tracking/remote branches, renaming branches (including master/main), and resolving merge conflicts including hard cases (whitespace conflicts, binary files, recurring conflicts with rerere, picking sides, subtree merges). Use when the user hits a merge conflict, asks "merge or rebase?", needs to rename or clean up branches, or must integrate diverged branches — even if they just paste conflict markers or a failed-merge error. Not for undoing already-made merges or recovering lost commits (use git-history-repair).
