git-workflow-and-versioning

To enforce atomic commits in a git workflow, create short-lived feature branches from main, implement a single small change, run pre-commit checks for tests and linting, then commit with a descriptive message explaining intent. This separation of concerns ensures changes remain reviewable and reversible.

Managing parallel agent workflows in git is best handled using worktree support and the save-point pattern. This allows multiple agents to work on parallel streams independently while keeping the main branch deployable and reducing merge risk.

Structuring code changes for easier review and reversion requires keeping change sizing sensible and focusing on a single concern per commit. Trunk-based guidance promotes short-lived branches so main stays always deployable, minimizing merge conflicts and simplifying rollback.

Trunk-based development works effectively with AI-driven code changes by enforcing branch naming conventions and structured change summaries. Keeping main deployable while using short-lived feature branches allows AI agents to coordinate parallel work streams safely without long-lived branch conflicts.

Pre-commit hygiene checks before merging git branches should include running tests, linting, and type checks. These checks verify code quality and ensure that generated files are handled properly before an atomic commit is made, preparing a clean change for review.
