Update Branch
SkillDev toolsUpdate a stale session branch by rebasing onto the latest origin. Use when the upstream has moved significantly and the session needs to catch up, resolving conflicts by preserving upstream changes and adapting session work to fit.

Rebase the current session branch onto the latest upstream so the work stays grounded in origin.
Workflow
- If there are uncommitted changes, use the
/commitskill to commit them first. - Fetch the latest upstream and rebase onto it:
Use the appropriate base branch if it is notgit fetch origin git rebase origin/mainmain.
Conflict Resolution
When conflicts arise, upstream always wins:
- Never alter upstream logic, APIs, or patterns to accommodate session changes.
- Adapt session work to fit the new upstream — rename, restructure, or rewrite as needed while preserving the session's goals.
- After resolving each conflict,
git addthe files andgit rebase --continue.
Validation
After the rebase completes, verify the result still compiles and meets the session's objectives. If session changes no longer make sense against the updated upstream, explain what changed and propose a revised approach.
