Git Local-First Operations
Always prefer local git commands over GitHub MCP tools when working in the current repository.
When to Use Local Git
Any operation that can be done locally:
- Viewing commits (
git show,git log) - Viewing files at revisions (
git show <sha>:<path>) - Diffs (
git diff) - Blame (
git blame) - Search (
git grep) - Branch operations (
git branch,git log main..HEAD)
When to Use GitHub MCP
Only for remote-only operations:
- PR metadata, reviews, CI status (
mcp_github_pull_request_read) - Issues (
mcp_github_issue_read) - Operations on OTHER repositories (not the current working directory)
