Copied from the file, not written here

Git best practices for AI coding agents. Use when committing changes, creating branches, splitting PRs, reviewing code, or setting up worktrees. Covers Conventional Commits v1.0.0 spec, atomic commits, stacked PRs, squash-based workflow, and worktree patterns.

Git Workflow

Conventional Commits v1.0.0

<type>[optional scope][!]: <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer(s)]

Types

Type	SemVer	Use
`feat`	MINOR	New feature
`fix`	PATCH	Bug fix
`docs`	—	Documentation only
`style`	—	Formatting, no logic change
`refactor`	—	Code change, no fix/feature
`perf`	—	Performance improvement
`test`	—	Adding/correcting tests
`chore`	—	Build, deps, tooling
`ci`	—	CI/CD config
`revert`	—	Reverting commits

BREAKING CHANGE (MAJOR)

Two valid forms per spec:

feat(api)!: send email on shipment       # ! before :

feat: allow config extension

BREAKING CHANGE: `extends` key now used for extending configs

Revert

revert: let us never speak of the noodle incident

Refs: 676104e, a215868

Atomic Commits

One logical change per commit. Use git add -p for interactive staging:

git add -p                     # Stage hunks interactively
git add src/models/            # Stage specific directory

Good: "Add user model and validation" / Bad: "Add user model, fix navbar bug, update readme"

PR Splitting (Stacked PRs)

PR 1 (base): Models, interfaces, types
PR 2 (logic): Services, state management
PR 3 (UI): Components, templates, styles
PR 4 (tests): Unit/integration tests

Each PR compiles independently. Squash-based workflow: lead maintainer cleans commit messages on merge.

Branch Naming

feature/<name>   fix/<name>   refactor/<name>   docs/<name>   chore/<name>

Worktrees (for PR reviews)

git worktree add -b review-pr-42 ../review feature/branch
git worktree list
git worktree remove ../review

Stashing

git stash                              # Quick
git stash push -m "WIP: refactoring"   # Named
git stash --include-untracked          # + untracked
git stash --staged                     # Only staged
git stash pop                          # Apply latest
