Automates Git workflow to save your notes with meaningful commit messages and push to remote repository.

/push

/push "Completed weekly review"

What This Skill Does

1. Stages All Changes

   • Adds all modified files
   • Includes new files
   • Removes deleted files

2. Creates Smart Commit Message

   • Uses provided message, or
   • Auto-generates from changes
   • Includes timestamp

3. Syncs with Remote

   • Pulls latest changes
   • Pushes to remote repository
   • Handles conflicts gracefully

Commit Message Format

Automatic Messages

Based on your changes:

Daily note for 2024-01-15

- Added: Daily Notes/2024-01-15.md
- Modified: Inbox/idea.md

With Timestamp

[2024-01-15 09:30] Completed weekly review

Path-Based Messages

Smart messages based on changed files location:

• Daily Notes/ → "Update daily note - [date]"
• Templates/ → "Update templates"
• Inbox/ → "Process inbox items"
• Archives/ → "Archive notes"

Workflow Integration

Morning Routine

/daily          # Create daily note
# ... work on notes ...
/push "Morning planning complete"

End of Day

# Complete daily reflection
/push           # Auto-message with summary

After Weekly Review

/weekly         # Run weekly review
/push "Weekly review complete"

Git Operations

Standard Flow

1. git add . - Stage all changes
2. git commit -m "message" - Create commit
3. git pull --rebase origin main - Get remote changes
4. git push origin main - Push to remote

Safety Checks

• Verify Git repository exists
• Check for uncommitted changes
• Ensure remote is configured
• Never force push

Security Considerations

Use .gitignore for

CLAUDE.local.md
.obsidian/workspace*
.obsidian/cache
.trash/
.DS_Store

Troubleshooting

Push Rejected?

Pull first, then push again:

git pull --rebase origin main
git push origin main

Not a Git Repository?

git init
git remote add origin [URL]

Integration

Works with:

• /daily - Commit after creating daily note
• /weekly - Commit after weekly review
• /onboard - No git needed for context loading
