The 43-year-old has committed to a three-year contract at Ashton Gate following his successful leadership of the Imps to the League One title in the current season.
Bristol City, who concluded the Championship season in 12th place, sought a new manager after Roy Hodgson served as interim manager subsequent to the dismissal of Gerhard Struber in March.
Skubala's Statement on His New Role
"I'm delighted to take up this exciting opportunity," Skubala told the Bristol City website.
"I've had some really positive conversations with the board and James Ellis, who have been very clear about the club's ambition.
"I'm ready for the challenge ahead and looking forward to meeting the players, staff and supporters.
"Preparations for pre-season are well underway and we have an important and exciting few months ahead."
