Checkpoint Commit

Create a comprehensive git checkpoint commit that stages everything and writes a detailed commit message.

Workflow

1. •

   Initialize git if needed - Run git init if not already a git repo.

2. •

   Analyze all changes:

   • •git status to see tracked and untracked files
   • •git diff to see detailed changes
   • •git log -5 --oneline to match the repo's commit message style
3. •

   Stage everything - Use git add -A to stage all changes (modified, deleted, and new files).

4. •

   Create a detailed commit message:

   • •Subject line (50-72 chars, imperative mood): e.g. feat: add user authentication, fix: resolve database connection issue
   • •Body: What changed (key modifications), why it changed (purpose/motivation), important technical details, breaking changes if any
   • •Footer: Include co-author attribution per Git Safety Protocol
5. •

   Execute the commit following the repo's existing conventions.

Rules

• •Do NOT skip any files - include everything
• •Check git log first to match existing commit conventions
• •Make messages descriptive enough for someone reviewing the log to understand what was accomplished
