# Windsurf Git Integration
## Overview
This skill enables AI-assisted Git workflows within Windsurf. Cascade can generate commit messages from staged changes, suggest branch names, assist with merge conflict resolution, and automate common Git operations.
## Prerequisites
- Git installed and configured
- Windsurf IDE with Cascade enabled
- Git repository initialized
- SSH keys or HTTPS credentials configured
- Understanding of team Git workflow (GitFlow, trunk-based, etc.)
## Instructions
1. **Configure Git Credentials**
2. **Set Up AI Assistance**
3. **Install Git Hooks**
4. **Configure Team Standards**
5. **Train on Workflow**
See `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation.md` for detailed implementation guide.
## Output
- Configured Git hooks
- AI-assisted commit messages
- Branch naming suggestions
- PR descriptions with context
## Error Handling
See `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/errors.md` for comprehensive error handling.
