Safely stage, commit, and push intended git changes with conventional commit messages. Use for ordinary non-release pushes when explicitly asked to push, save work remotely, or share a completed change.

Git Push Workflow
Stage only intended changes, create a conventional commit, and push to the remote branch.
When to Use
Automatically activate when the user:
Explicitly asks to push changes ("push this", "commit and push")
Mentions saving work to remote ("save to github", "push to remote")
Completes a feature and wants to share it
Says phrases like "let's push this up" or "commit these changes"
Safety Gates
Before staging, inspect git status --short --branch, confirm the intended files, and fetch the upstream branch when a concurrent push is plausible. Do not absorb unrelated dirty files.
Read repository policy before choosing the destination branch. If main or master is protected, or the repository defines a maintainer command such as merge:batch, create or use a topic branch and finish through the required pull-request checks. A user request to “push to main” describes the desired final state; it does not authorize bypassing server-side protection. Never keep retrying a direct push after a protected-branch rejection.
The helper requires an empty live index and a conventional commit message before it stages anything. It locks the live index, builds and validates the commit in an isolated temporary index, rejects -- without paths, and atomically updates the branch only if its parent is unchanged.
The helper honors branch.<name>.pushRemote, remote.pushDefault, and the branch's configured upstream, in that order. For a new branch without those settings, it requires origin and establishes origin/<branch>. It rejects detached HEAD and invalid remote configurations before staging.
Do not use this skill for a maintainer merge batch, canonical synchronization, versioned repository release, tag publication, or a repository with an explicit merge:batch, release:prepare, or release:publish workflow. Use that repository's maintainer/release flow instead; it owns pull-request evidence, protected-branch checks, generated files, tags, and publication verification.
Workflow
Use the helper only after the safety gates pass. Resolve the installed directory that contains this SKILL.md and substitute its absolute path for <skill-directory> below; do not assume the current working directory is the catalog repository. With no paths the helper stages all current changes, so use that form only when every dirty file belongs to the requested commit:
The helper handles isolated staging, commit creation, and push; it does not replace validation, release tooling, or a rebase required by an advanced upstream branch.
Limitations
The helper currently requires Git's files ref backend; it rejects reftable repositories before creating a commit because their refs cannot use the filesystem lock protocol.
Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
