What is the .claude/git.local.md file?

It is a configuration file generated by this skill that defines project-specific commit types, scopes, and branch naming conventions for Claude to follow during development.

Can I use this to set my global Git identity?

Yes, during Phase 1, the skill checks for your Git name and email and can set them globally or locally if they are missing.

How does the skill determine commit scopes?

It analyzes your project's file structure and recent Git history to propose relevant, abbreviated scopes such as 'api' for backend or 'ui' for frontend components.

Why are multi-word scopes abbreviated?

To maintain clean and concise Git logs, the skill follows a specific rule to convert multi-word directory names into short letter codes, like 'ua' for 'user-auth'.

Developer Tools

Standardizes project-specific Git identity and conventional commit configurations for Claude Code environments.

About

The config-git skill streamlines the setup of professional Git environments by automating identity verification and establishing rigorous conventional commit standards. It analyzes your project's architecture and history to generate concise, rule-based commit scopes and branch naming conventions, saving these settings into a .claude/git.local.md file. This ensures that all AI-generated contributions follow your team's specific version control standards and naming patterns from the start.
