Committing Changes

Create git commits for changes made during the current session.

Workflow

1. •

   Assess changes

   • •Review conversation history to understand what was accomplished
   • •Run git status and git diff to see current changes
   • •Decide: one commit or multiple logical commits?
2. •

   Plan commits

   • •Group related files together
   • •Draft commit messages in imperative mood ("Add feature" not "Added feature")
   • •Focus on why changes were made, not just what
3. •

   Execute

   • •git add with specific files (NEVER use -A or .)
   • •git commit -m "<message>"
   • •Repeat for each logical commit
4. •

   Verify

   • •git log --oneline -n <number> to show results

Rules

• •NEVER commit thoughts/ or anything inside it
• •NEVER commit dummy files, test scripts, or artifacts not part of the actual changes
• •NEVER add co-author information or Claude attribution
• •Keep commits focused and atomic
• •Use your judgment on grouping - the user trusts you to commit
