Git Sync Manager

When to Use This Skill

✅ Use when:

• Managing multiple Git repositories from a central location
• Performing batch git operations (pull, commit, push)
• Need consistent sync workflows across many repos
• Automating daily/periodic repository synchronization
• Building repository management CLIs

❌ Avoid when:

• Single repository operations
• Complex merge/rebase workflows requiring manual intervention
• Repositories with conflicting changes that need resolution
