# Git Summary Skill
This skill provides a comprehensive overview of the current Git repository state.
## Usage
When the user asks for a git summary, repository overview, or wants to understand the current state of a git project, use the terminal to run the following commands and present the results in a clear, organized format.
## Instructions
1. **Repository Status**: Run `git status --short --branch` to get the current branch and working directory status.
2. **Recent Commits**: Run `git log --oneline -10 --decorate` to show the last 10 commits with branch/tag decorations.
3. **Branch Overview**: Run `git branch -a --list` to list all local and remote branches.
4. **Remote Info**: Run `git remote -v` to show configured remotes.
5. **Uncommitted Changes Summary**:
- Run `git diff --stat` for unstaged changes
- Run `git diff --cached --stat` for staged changes
6. **Contributors** (optional, for larger context): Run `git shortlog -sn --all | head -10` to show top 10 contributors.
## Output Format
Present the gathered information in a structured format:
```
## 📊 Git Repository Summary
### Current Branch & Status
- Branch: `<branch_name>`
- Status: <clean/dirty with X modified, Y staged, Z untracked>
### Recent Commits (Last 10)
<formatted commit list>
### Branches
- Local: <count> branches
- Remote: <count> branches
<list notable branches>
### Remotes
<list remotes with URLs>
### Uncommitted Changes
<summary of staged and unstaged changes>
```
## Notes
- If not in a git repository, inform the user and suggest initializing one with `git init`.
- For large repositories, the contributor list may take a moment - warn the user if this is expected.
- Always respect that some information may be sensitive - don't expose full URLs if they contain tokens.
