Commit and Push Skill

1. Stage only files related to the current task
2. Run git commit --no-verify if pre-commit hooks fail on unrelated issues
3. Push to the current branch
4. Report the commit hash and branch name

NOTE: This repo uses Azure DevOps. For PRs use az repos pr create. NOTE: The commit-msg hook strips Co-Authored-By trailers so commits appear as sole-author.

Gotchas

• git commit --no-verify bypasses pre-commit hook — logged in reflog but easy to forget. A CI check that fails on no-verify trailers prevents drift.
• commit-msg hook transforms the message AFTER the editor closes — verify the final state with git show -s --format=%B, not the editor draft.
• Azure DevOps strips Co-Authored-By server-side — local commits show co-author; PR display doesn't. Test what shows in the PR UI before assuming attribution worked.
• git commit on a detached HEAD creates an orphan — git checkout main loses it unless you branch first. Reflog recovers but only for 30 days.
• Trailing whitespace in commit messages: some hooks normalize, some preserve. Format-checks comparing raw vs normalized fail confusingly.
