FAQPage Schema
What is trunk-based development and when should I use it for version control?

Trunk-based development is a git workflow strategy where developers merge short-lived feature branches into the main trunk frequently. Use it to maintain code quality and manage parallel development streams efficiently.

How do I manage parallel AI agent work using git worktrees?

Git worktrees allow you to manage parallel AI agent work by linking multiple working directories to a single repository. This enables separate branch checkouts simultaneously without cloning the entire codebase.

What's the best way to structure atomic commits in a git workflow?

The best way to structure atomic commits is by bundling small, self-contained logical changes with descriptive commit messages. This practice maintains a clean version control history and simplifies debugging.

When do I need release branches instead of feature flags in my branching strategy?

You need release branches to stabilize specific production versions, whereas feature flags allow merging incomplete code into the main branch safely. Choose release branches for strict versioning and flags for continuous integration.

Does this git workflow guidance include pre-commit hygiene and debugging commands?

Yes, the git workflow guidance includes pre-commit hygiene for running checks before committing and practical git commands for debugging purposes. These practices ensure efficient and safe code changes.

Why should I provide structured change summaries for code reviews?

You should provide structured change summaries to improve code reviews and documentation clarity. Structured summaries help reviewers understand the scope of code changes and maintain version control best practices.
