Structure version control for safe, reviewable refactoring.

Branch Strategy

Naming Convention

code

refactor/<scope>-<action>
Examples: refactor/auth-extract-service

Commit Granularity

One Commit Per

•Single rename across files
•One method extraction
•One file move
•One pattern application

Commit Message Format

code

refactor(<scope>): <action>

<what changed and why>

Risk: low|medium|high
Tests: passing|added|updated

Safety Practices

Before Starting

•Ensure clean state (git status)
•Create branch
•Verify tests pass

During Refactoring

•Commit frequently
•Run tests after each commit

If Something Breaks

•git reset --soft HEAD~1 (undo, keep changes)
•git checkout -- . (discard changes)
•git revert <commit-hash> (revert specific)
