Git Guide Skill

Use this skill when performing any git operations (clone, pull, push, commit, etc.).

Policy: Use git-container for ALL Git Operations

MANDATORY: All git operations MUST be executed inside the git-container Docker container. Never run git directly on the host system.

Container Details

Usage Examples

Clone a Repository

docker exec -it git-container git clone <repo-url> <destination>

Pull Latest Changes

docker exec -it git-container git -C /path/to/repo pull

Push Changes

docker exec -it git-container git -C /path/to/repo push

Interactive Shell (for complex operations)

docker exec -it git-container sh

Check Git Status

docker exec -it git-container git -C /path/to/repo status

NAS Storage - MANDATORY Destination

ALL cloned repositories and git artifacts MUST be saved to the NAS SANDBOX:

{{paths.sandbox}}

This is the designated storage location for all git operations. Always ensure:

1. Clones are created directly in or copied to the NAS sandbox
2. Working directories are set to paths within the NAS
3. Artifacts (branches, tags, exports) are stored on the NAS

Workflow

1. Identify the target repository URL
2. Use docker exec -it git-container git clone <url> <nas-path>
3. Navigate to the cloned repository
4. Perform git operations as needed
5. Always save outputs to the NAS sandbox

Common Commands

Container Maintenance

If the container stops, restart it:

docker start git-container

Verify container is running:

docker ps | findstr git-container
