this is bad developer UX ( in my opinion). Please reconsider . I lost interest the moment I was not able to commit using normal git commands.

  ⎿  Error: Exit code 1

     GITBUTLER_ERROR: Cannot commit directly to gitbutler/workspace branch.

     GitButler manages commits on this branch. Please use GitButler to commit your changes:
       - Use the GitButler app to create commits
       - Or run 'but commit' from the command line

     If you want to exit GitButler mode and use normal git:
       - Run 'but teardown' to switch to a regular branch
     … +5 lines (ctrl+o to see all)

but was not installed ( I installed the mac app ) .

I still haven't uninstalled the app and will try to figure out the working model.

Also please offer some skill file or a text I can add to my CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md so that when I ask claude to commit , it will go through gitbutler...( edit: looks like it is there, but the discovery is hard ) .

We will remove the hook constraint as soon as we complete this https://github.com/gitbutlerapp/gitbutler/issues/11866

For the Claude question, the CLI ships a skill, set it up with `but skill install`.

I hope this helps

Agree. I’ve also noticed that feature creep tends to increase when AI is writing most of the code.

Book ends with "There’s a fundamental truth about this transformation that no book can fully convey: work- ing with AI teammates is something you must experience to understand"
