$ARGUMENTS
Instructions
1. Navigate to Repository Root
Before staging files, ensure you are at the repository root:
bash
git rev-parse --show-toplevel
Change to this directory if not already there.
2. Stage All Changes
Important: Always run from the repository root to ensure all changes are included.
bash
git add .
3. Review What Will Be Committed
Check the staged changes:
bash
git diff --cached --stat
4. Create the Commit
Commit with a concise message following conventional commit guidelines.
Format: type: description (keep under 50 characters)
Common types:
- •
feat: new feature - •
fix: bug fix - •
refactor: code refactoring - •
docs: documentation - •
style: formatting/style - •
test: tests - •
chore: maintenance
Style:
- •Use imperative mood ("Fix bug" not "Fixed bug")
- •Capitalize first word
- •No period at end
- •Be specific but brief
- •Focus on WHAT and WHY, not HOW
Examples:
- •
feat: add user login validation - •
fix: resolve memory leak in parser - •
refactor: simplify authentication logic
5. Handle Pre-Commit Hook Failures
If pre-commit hooks fail:
- •Read the error output to understand what failed
- •Fix the underlying issues - do not bypass hooks
- •Stage the fixes:
git add . - •Commit again with the same message
NEVER use --no-verify or force a commit without resolving issues.
6. Verify Success
After committing, verify the commit was created:
bash
git log -1 --oneline
Error Handling
- •If there are no changes to commit, report this and exit gracefully
- •If hooks fail repeatedly, stop and ask the user for guidance
- •Never force commits or skip validation steps
