SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Standardizes Git workflows to reduce merge conflicts, improve traceability, and streamline collaboration across teams by defining branch naming, commit conventions, PR processes, and issue tracking.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Branch Naming: enforce patterns like feature/{issue-number}-{short-description}, fix/{issue-number}-{short-description}, and chore/{description} to keep history clean and navigable.
  • Commit Conventions: use conventional commits and include issue references to maintain a readable history.
  • PR Process: require pull requests for all changes, include templates, and enforce code review and CI checks before merging.
  • Issue Tracking: link commits and PRs to issues to maintain end-to-end traceability across the lifecycle.

Quick Start

Create a feature/{issue-number}-{short-description} branch, commit changes with clear messages, and open a PR for review.
