gitsync
SkillDev toolsSync both git repos in this project: opentraces (root) and closedtraces (kb/). Runs the full lifecycle for each — pull, check status, commit any pending changes, push. Use when the user says "gitsync", "sync repos", "sync both repos", "commit and push both", or "sync opentraces and closedtraces".

Sync both repos in this project: opentraces (root) and closedtraces (kb/).
Repos
| Repo | Path | Remote |
|---|---|---|
| opentraces | /Users/jayfarei/src/tries/2026-03-27-community-traces-hf | github.com/JayFarei/opentraces |
| closedtraces | /Users/jayfarei/src/tries/2026-03-27-community-traces-hf/kb | github.com/JayFarei/closedtraces |
Lifecycle (run for each repo in order)
1. Pull (rebase)
git -C <path> pull --rebase
If the pull produces a merge conflict, stop immediately and report it to the user with the conflicted files. Do not attempt to resolve conflicts automatically.
2. Check status
git -C <path> status --short
If clean, skip to the next repo — nothing to commit.
3. Commit pending changes
Show the user a brief summary of what's pending (file list + diff stat), then commit:
git -C <path> add -A
git -C <path> commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
<descriptive message summarizing the changes>
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
EOF
)"
Write a meaningful commit message. Do not use generic messages like "sync" or "update files".
Look at git diff --cached to understand what changed and summarize it.
4. Push
git -C <path> push
If push is rejected (non-fast-forward), pull --rebase first then push again.
Output format
After completing both repos, report a one-liner per repo:
opentraces: pulled (2 commits), committed "fix(quality): ..." (3 files), pushed
closedtraces: already up to date, committed "update discussion log" (1 file), pushed
Or if nothing needed:
opentraces: already up to date, nothing to commit
closedtraces: already up to date, nothing to commit
Important notes
- Always pull before committing to avoid push rejections
- The two repos are fully independent — a failure in one does not block the other
- Never force-push either repo
- Commit message must describe the actual changes, not just say "sync"
