description	Git workflow rules for this repository. MUST be followed for all git operations — branching, committing, pushing.

Git Workflow Rules

Creating Branches

NEVER let a feature branch track origin/main. This causes accidental pushes to main.

git checkout main
git pull
git checkout -b <branch-name>
git push -u origin <branch-name>

NEVER push directly to origin/main. All changes go through PRs.

Branch Naming

Use the pattern: feat/<short-description> or fix/<short-description>

Examples:

• feat/midi-cc-pitchbend
• fix/sampler-load-icon

Committing

• Only commit when the user explicitly asks
• Use descriptive commit messages with a short summary line
• If pre-commit hooks fail (e.g. clang-format), re-stage the formatted files and create a new commit — do NOT amend
• Never use --no-verify

Dangerous Commands — NEVER Run Without Explicit User Request

• git push --force
• git reset --hard
• git checkout . / git restore .
• git clean -f
• git branch -D
