Git-workflow Plugin Cache

This skill manages the provider cache for git-workflow commands. The cache stores auto-detected provider information to avoid re-detection on each command.

When to use this skill

• Provider cache shows "not cached" in a command's Context
• User asks to refresh or reset the git provider detection
• User switches remote or needs to change the cached provider
• Understanding cache format for debugging

Cache location

The cache file is stored in the current repository, not in the user's home directory:

<repository-root>/.claude/jc-marketplace/git-workflow/cache.md

IMPORTANT: This is a project-local file (.claude/ relative to the git repository root), NOT ~/.claude/ in the home directory.

Cache format

---
provider: github|gitlab|bitbucket
bitbucket_workspace: <workspace>  # Bitbucket only
bitbucket_repo: <repo>            # Bitbucket only
---

# Git Workflow Cache

Auto-detected on <date>.
Provider: **<provider>**

Creating the cache

Step 1: Detect provider from Remote URL

URL contains	Provider
github	github
gitlab	gitlab
bitbucket	bitbucket
none of the above	Ask user to choose

Step 2: Extract Bitbucket info (if applicable)

For Bitbucket, extract workspace and repo from the remote URL:

URL format	Workspace	Repo
[email protected]:myworkspace/myrepo.git	myworkspace	myrepo
https://bitbucket.org/myworkspace/myrepo.git	myworkspace	myrepo

Step 3: Create cache directory and write file

CRITICAL: The exact path must be .claude/jc-marketplace/git-workflow/cache.md

Do NOT use:

• ~/.claude/... (home directory)
• .claude/cache.md (missing subdirectories)
• .claude/git-workflow.local.md (wrong filename)

First, create the directory structure:

mkdir -p .claude/jc-marketplace/git-workflow

Then, use the Write tool to create the file at this exact path:

.claude/jc-marketplace/git-workflow/cache.md

Example: If repository is at /home/user/myproject, the cache file must be:

/home/user/myproject/.claude/jc-marketplace/git-workflow/cache.md

Step 4: Verify cache was created correctly

After writing the file, verify it exists at the correct path:

cat .claude/jc-marketplace/git-workflow/cache.md

If this command fails or shows a different file, you created the cache in the wrong location. Delete the wrong file and retry Step 3.

Step 5: Continue

After verification succeeds, continue with the original command.

Refreshing the cache

Delete the cache file (in the repository root) and re-run any git-workflow command:

rm "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.claude/jc-marketplace/git-workflow/cache.md"

Example

Remote URL: [email protected]:myteam/my-project.git

Cache file content:

---
provider: bitbucket
bitbucket_workspace: myteam
bitbucket_repo: my-project
---
