Git Commit Workflow

Overview

Standardize staging and conventional commits. Favor minimal, clear steps and ask for missing details (scope, type) only when needed.

Conventional commits

• Format: type(scope): short description (lowercase, imperative)
• Group logical changes into separate commits
• Stage related files together

Common types: feat, fix, refactor, chore, docs, test, build, ci, perf, style

Multi-line commit (heredoc):

git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
feat(ui): add new button component

- Create reusable Button component with multiple variants
- Add TypeScript support and proper prop types
- Include Storybook stories for documentation
EOF
)"

Multi-worktree notes

If working across multiple worktrees (e.g. ansel-agent-a, ansel-agent-b):

• Confirm the active worktree before running commands:
  • pwd
  • git status -sb
  • git rev-parse --show-toplevel
• List worktrees when unsure:
  • git worktree list
• Use git -C /path/to/worktree ... if needed

Troubleshooting

• No commits when expected:
  • git status -sb
  • git log --oneline -n 5
