CRITICAL SKILL - Maintain a clean, traversable, and semantic history.
| Principle | Rule |
|---|---|
| Atomic Commits | One logical change per commit (e.g., "Fix bug" vs "Fix bug and add feature") |
| Conventional Commits | Use structured messages (feat, fix, docs, refactor, etc.) |
| Clean History | Don't commit broken code. Squash WIP commits before merging. |
| Ignore Artifacts | Never commit derived files (builds, local configs, secrets). |
Follow the Conventional Commits specification:
<type>(<scope>): <subject>
<body>
<footer>
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
feat | A new feature |
fix | A bug fix |
docs | Documentation only changes |
style | Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, etc) |
refactor | A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature |
perf | A code change that improves performance |
test | Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests |
chore | Changes to the build process or auxiliary tools and libraries |
Good:
feat(auth): implement jwt token validationfix(search): handle empty result sets gracefullydocs(readme): update installation instructionsBad:
update codefix bugwipBefore Committing:
git status to see what will be staged.git diff to review changes line-by-line.Branching (if applicable):
main / master: Stable production code.develop / dev: Integration branch.feat/feature-name: Feature branches.fix/issue-description: Bug fix branches.Handling Conflicts:
| Action | Command |
|---|---|
| Check Status | git status |
| View Changes | git diff |
| Stage Files | git add <file> (Avoid git add . unless sure) |
| Commit | git commit -m "type(scope): message" |
| Log | git log --oneline --graph --decorate --all |
