How does this skill handle multiple features?

It uses GitButler's virtual branch system, allowing you to work on different tasks simultaneously in the same workspace and selectively commit changes to specific branches.

Why should I use GitButler commands instead of raw git?

GitButler commands are designed to maintain the state of virtual branches and provide a safer 'oplog' that allows for easy undos, which raw git commands might inadvertently disrupt.

Can I recover from a mistake made by Claude during a git operation?

Yes, the skill leverages the 'but undo' and 'but oplog' commands, which act as a time machine to restore your repository to any previous state.

What does the 'but absorb' command do?

It automatically detects which commit a specific change belongs to based on the lines modified and amends that commit while rebasing any dependent changes automatically.

Developer Tools

Optimizes version control workflows by leveraging GitButler's virtual branches and safe history manipulation tools within Claude Code.

This skill integrates GitButler's powerful version control features directly into the Claude Code environment, enabling safer and more flexible git operations. It allows Claude to automatically detect GitButler workspaces and transition from raw git commands to the 'but' CLI, facilitating advanced tasks like intelligent commit amending with 'absorb', multi-feature development through virtual branches, and safe history rewriting via the 'rub' command. By utilizing the GitButler oplog, this skill provides a robust safety net for AI-assisted development, ensuring that every operation is reversible and that complex commit structures remain clean and manageable.
