Description
Enforce version control best practices for commits, branching, pull requests, and repository security. Use when writing commits, creating branches, merging, or opening pull requests.

Git & Collaboration

Priority: P0 (OPERATIONAL)

1. Write Conventional Commits

  • Format: <type>(<scope>): <description> (e.g., feat(auth): add login validation).
  • Types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, chore.
  • Use imperative mood: "add feature" not "added feature".
  • One commit = one logical change — no mega-commits.

See implementation examples for conventional commit examples.

2. Manage Branches

  • Name with prefixes: feat/, fix/, hotfix/, refactor/, docs/.
  • Create new branch for every task to keep main stable and deployable.
  • Never push directly to main or develop — use Pull Requests.
  • Pull before you push to resolve conflicts locally.
  • Prefer git rebase over merge for linear history on feature branches.
  • Use git rebase -i to squash messy commits before pushing.

3. Submit Quality Pull Requests

  • Limit to < 300 lines of code for effective review.
  • State what changed, why, and how to test. Link issues (Closes #123).
  • Self-review for obvious errors before requesting peers.
  • PRs must pass all CI checks (lint, test, build) before merging.

4. Protect Secrets and Metadata

  • Never commit .env, keys, or certificates — use .gitignore strictly.
  • Use husky or lefthook for local Git Hooks enforcement.
  • Tag releases with SemVer (vX.Y.Z) and update CHANGELOG.md.

Anti-Patterns

  • No direct push to main: All changes via PR, no exceptions.
  • No mega-commits: One commit = one logical change. Split large ones.
  • No secrets in history: Use git filter-repo to purge; rotate secret.
