Bad Git practices cause lost work, broken deploys, and team friction. A clear workflow prevents all of these.

  1. main is always deployable
  2. Create feature branches from main: feature/user-auth
  3. Make small, focused commits with clear messages
  4. Open a Pull Request when ready for review
  5. After approval and CI passes, merge to main
  6. Deploy immediately after merge

Commit Message Format

Use conventional commits: feat: add user login, fix: resolve password reset bug, docs: update API reference

Use our Code Formatter before committing to ensure consistent style.
