Shellicar Config Conventions

Scope: Git conventions for personal config repos: direct commits to main, no PRs, no branch protection.

Git conventions for personal configuration repositories.

Detection

Match when:

• Remote URL contains github.com/shellicar/
• Working directory is $HOME/.claude or $HOME/dotfiles

Platform

• Platform: GitHub
• CLI: gh

Workflow

Config repos use a simplified workflow:

• No PRs - commit directly to main
• No branches - work on main
• No work items - these are personal config repos

Commit Messages

• Concise, single line
• Imperative mood
• No prefixes. See git-workflow skill.

CLI Commands

# Commit and push
git add -A && git commit -m "message" && git push

# View history
git log --oneline -10

Notes

• These repos contain personal configuration (dotfiles, editor settings, etc.)
• Changes are typically small and don't warrant PR review
• Direct commits to main are expected
