# Windsurf Git Integration

## Overview

This skill enables AI-assisted Git workflows within Windsurf. Cascade can generate commit messages from staged changes, suggest branch names, assist with merge conflict resolution, and automate common Git operations. It integrates with hooks for validation and provides intelligent suggestions that follow your team's conventions.

## Prerequisites

- Git installed and configured
- Windsurf IDE with Cascade enabled
- Git repository initialized
- SSH keys or HTTPS credentials configured
- Understanding of team Git workflow (GitFlow, trunk-based, etc.)

## Instructions

1. **Configure Git Credentials**
2. **Set Up AI Assistance**
3. **Install Git Hooks**
4. **Configure Team Standards**
5. **Train on Workflow**


See `{baseDir}/references/implementation.md` for detailed implementation guide.

## Output

- Configured Git hooks
- AI-assisted commit messages
- Branch naming suggestions
- PR descriptions with context

## Error Handling

See `{baseDir}/references/errors.md` for comprehensive error handling.

## Examples

See `{baseDir}/references/examples.md` for detailed examples.

Overview

This skill configures Git integration with Windsurf and enables AI-assisted Git workflows. It automates Git hooks, generates context-aware commit messages, suggests branch names, and helps produce pull request descriptions. The integration adapts to team conventions and streamlines common source control tasks inside the Windsurf environment.

How this skill works

The skill inspects the repository state, staged changes, and branch context to produce actionable suggestions. Cascade-powered models generate commit messages, branch name proposals, and PR descriptions, while hooks enforce validation and team standards. It can also assist with merge conflict resolution by suggesting edits and explaining choices.

When to use it

Setting up repository-level Git configuration inside Windsurf
Creating consistent, AI-assisted commit messages for staged changes
Naming branches according to team conventions or ticket IDs
Generating clear PR descriptions with relevant context
Automating pre-commit and push validations via Git hooks

Best practices

Ensure Git is installed and repository is initialized before enabling integration
Provide the team's branching and commit conventions so suggestions match workflows
Use SSH keys or secure HTTPS credentials to avoid interruptions during automation
Enable and review hook actions in a staging environment before enforcing in production
Regularly update the model training examples to reflect changes in workflow or standards

Example use cases

Generate a Conventional Commits-style message from a set of staged files
Suggest branch names that include the Jira ticket and short description
Create a PR description that summarizes changes, highlights risk, and lists testing steps
Run pre-commit checks and auto-fix common linting issues before committing
Receive guided suggestions when resolving a merge conflict in a feature branch

FAQ

What prerequisites are required?

You need Git installed, a Windsurf environment with Cascade enabled, an initialized repository, and configured authentication (SSH or HTTPS).

Can suggestions follow my team's conventions?

Yes. Provide your branch, commit, and PR standards to the skill so AI outputs align with your workflow.
