Two related simplification-audit findings, bundled because they edit some of the same skill-audit files and splitting would fragment single-file diffs. Finding 10: delete 48 per-skill/reference README.md files (they restated SKILL.md in narrative form and no agent ever loads them) plus 2 scaffold templates. Drop the README criterion from skill-audit's file-structure.md and finding-criteria.md, and the README-generation step from skill-author's new-skill.sh; update new-skill.bats to match. Plugin-root READMEs are kept intentionally, out of scope. Finding 12: strip historical ADR-0020/ADR-0023 citations and changelog-style narration from model-facing skill content across kyberforge and git plugin skills. Delete skill-author's one-time retrofit.md migration guide and its references. Some ADR-0023 tags were not narration but check-rtk-prefix's required opt-out marker for intentionally-bare git commands -- those were restored, not stripped. Mirror re-synced and full pre-commit/pre-push suite verified green.

# Merging one branch into another
|
|
|
|
Scope is fast-forward and merge-commit mechanics plus conflict resolution. Rebase and cherry-pick
|
|
belong to `git-commits`; revert to `git-history`.
|
|
|
|
- **Fast-forward** — `rtk git merge <branch>` advances the pointer with no merge commit when the
|
|
target has not diverged.
|
|
- **True merge** — `rtk git merge --no-ff <branch>` forces a merge commit even when a fast-forward is
|
|
possible. Gitflow requires it on every supporting-branch merge.
|
|
- **Squash merge** — `rtk git merge --squash <branch>` stages the combined diff without committing.
|
|
Follow it with a `rtk git commit`.
|
|
- **Octopus merge** — `rtk git merge branch-a branch-b branch-c` merges more than two branches at
|
|
once, but fails outright on any conflict. Use sequential two-way merges when conflicts are
|
|
likely.
|
|
|
|
## Conflict resolution
|
|
|
|
When Git cannot auto-merge it writes conflict markers and stops mid-merge. Run `rtk git status` to
|
|
list the conflicted files, edit each to resolve its markers, then `rtk git add <file>` and
|
|
`rtk git merge --continue`.
|
|
|
|
- `rtk git merge --abort` restores the pre-merge state.
|
|
- `git mergetool` opens the configured merge tool — bare, not `rtk`: it hands control to an
|
|
interactive child process, and a token filter has nothing to offer there.
|
|
- `rtk git diff --diff-filter=U` shows only the still-conflicted files.
