Git Workflow

ruvnet/ruflo

A small CLI that runs and enforces branching operations in your repository - create feature/release/hotfix branches, perform scripted merges or rebases, and install hooks or tags to keep a chosen process consistent. Unlike the other similarly named projects that lay out branching patterns and commit conventions as guidance, this tool inspects the branch/commit graph and actually applies and enforces workflow steps rather than just describing them.

Same name, different author, different job. If more than one is installed, the one that runs is whichever the agent matches first.

A situation it fits

I’m the release lead for a dozen microservice repos and need to run the same branch-creation and merge steps across them so the release is applied identically; I need a tool that will actually perform those operations and stop people from bypassing the process, not just give guidance or a script of commands.
Git Workflow. git-workflow-ruvnet is correct because it doesn’t just advise - it applies and enforces the workflow: create feature/release/hotfix branches, run scripted merges or rebases across repositories, and install safeguards so the same process is applied consistently. The most tempting wrong answer is git-workflow-jezweb, since it can produce exact, repo-specific command sequences, but its trap is that it only tells you what commands to run on a live repo - it doesn’t execute or enforce the process across many repos. The others are also misleading: git-workflow-affaan-m gives team-level branching and conflict-resolution guidance (but won’t run or enforce operations), and git-workflow-mindrally enforces commit naming/message rules rather than orchestrating and applying branch operations.

Skills it gets confused with

These share a family with Git Workflow, which is another way of saying they are the ones you might reach for by mistake.
