Git Push Workflow

Stage all changes, create a conventional commit, and push to the remote branch.

When to Use

Automatically activate when the user:

• Explicitly asks to push changes ("push this", "commit and push")
• Mentions saving work to remote ("save to github", "push to remote")
• Completes a feature and wants to share it
• Says phrases like "let's push this up" or "commit these changes"

Workflow

ALWAYS use the script - do NOT use manual git commands:

bash .claude/skills/git-pushing/scripts/smart_commit.sh

With custom message:

bash .claude/skills/git-pushing/scripts/smart_commit.sh "feat: add feature"

Script handles: staging, conventional commit message, Claude footer, push with -u flag.

Authentication Setup

Recommended: Use HTTPS with Personal Access Token

The script automatically checks for SSH URL rewrites and uses HTTPS for authentication:

1. Remote URLs should use HTTPS format: https://github.com/username/repo.git
2. Git will prompt for credentials or use stored credentials
3. If you have a global SSH rewrite (url.git@github.com:.insteadOf), the script will warn you

To configure HTTPS authentication:

# Set remote to HTTPS
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/username/repo.git

# Store credentials (optional)
git config --global credential.helper store

Security Checks

Automatic security scanning runs before every push to detect:

• ❌ Internal hourly rates (e.g., $200-$250/hr)
• ❌ Client names in code examples
• ❌ Client-specific file paths (e.g., User-Files/work-tracking/client-name/)
• ❌ Company branding in generic examples
• ❌ Forbidden document types (.docx proposals, contracts, etc.)

Configure patterns: Edit .claude/skills/git-pushing/scripts/security_patterns.conf

Bypass security check (NOT recommended):

SKIP_SECURITY_CHECK=1 bash .claude/skills/git-pushing/scripts/smart_commit.sh

Edge Cases Handled

• No commits yet: Script handles repos with no HEAD gracefully
• SSH rewrites: Detects and warns about global SSH URL rewrites
• New branches: Automatically uses -u flag for first push
• No changes: Exits gracefully if nothing to commit
• Sensitive data: Blocks push if sensitive patterns detected
