Git publishing and independent cloning using local Nostr keys and Hashtree. Instruction-only skill; requires separately installed htree and git-remote-htree, invokes shell commands, and can publish repository history.

## Good to know before installing

Instruction-only skill: the agent runs git, htree and git-remote-htree in the terminal (installed separately by the user, or by the agent from the project's release binaries or an unpinned `cargo install hashtree-cli git-remote-htree`); a push publishes the repository's history and author metadata to Hashtree storage servers and Nostr relays, publicly unless a link-visible or private URL is used; the CLI creates and stores a local signing key, and an optional htree daemon keeps running until stopped.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install hashtree-git
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable hashtree-git
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
