README.md
Use Git
Git and GitHub CLI conventions for Claude Code.
Type: Skill
Trigger: /use-git (also activates automatically)
Installation
See the marketplace install instructions.
What It Does
Provides conventions for running git and gh CLI commands in Claude Code. Covers when to use tmpfiles vs HEREDOCs for passing content, GPG signing, safe push practices, secret file exclusion, parallel tool call patterns, and clean diff output formatting.
The core problem: long string arguments in Bash commands (PR bodies, issue bodies, review replies) trigger Claude Code permission prompts. This skill standardizes the patterns that avoid those prompts while keeping operations safe.
Organized into a quick-reference decision table and deep-dive references by topic.
Usage
/use-git
The skill also activates automatically when Claude Code detects work involving git or gh CLI commands.
Examples
- Running
gh pr createwith a long body: the skill directs to the tmpfile +--body-filepattern - Committing changes: the skill provides the HEREDOC pattern with GPG signing
- Pushing code: the skill covers upstream fallback and safe push practices
- "review this git workflow": checks against the safety rules and conventions
