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
