1. Always Check Before Operating (+4)

1. Always Check Before Operating

# Check for uncommitted changes before destructive operations
if ! git diff --quiet; then
    echo "Error: uncommitted changes"
    exit 1
fi

2. Use --no-verify for Batch Commits

# Skip hooks in batch operations for speed
git commit -m "message" --no-verify

3. Handle Offline/Network Errors Gracefully

# Suppress errors and provide fallback
if ! git pull --quiet 2>/dev/null; then
    echo "Warning: could not pull (offline?)"
fi

4. Track Operation Statistics

# Always maintain counters for summary
SUCCESS=0; FAILED=0; SKIPPED=0
# Update appropriately in each operation

5. Validate Git Repositories

# Always check .git directory exists
[[ -d "$repo/.git" ]] || continue
