Split Commit

Goal

Convert one oversized working tree into several small, scoped commits.

Workflow

1. •Inspect uncommitted changes.
2. •Build logical commit groups.
3. •Show the split plan and ask one confirmation.
4. •Stage and commit each group in order.
5. •Report final result and remaining changes.

1) Inspect Changes

Run:

• •git status --short
• •git diff --stat

If there is nothing to commit, stop and report.

2) Build Logical Groups

Create groups by concern, not by raw file count.

Preferred grouping order:

1. •Core source changes by feature/fix unit
2. •Test changes tied to each source unit
3. •Config/build changes
4. •Docs/changelog/readme changes

Rules:

• •Keep one commit focused on one intent.
• •Keep related tests with the source commit when possible.
• •Avoid mixing refactor-only and behavior changes in one commit.
• •If a file contains multiple concerns, use partial staging (git add -p).

3) Confirm Plan

Before committing, show:

• •Group list (name, files, proposed message) Ask once:
• •"이 플랜대로 n개 커밋으로 분할 진행할까요?"

4) Execute Sequential Commits

For each group:

1. •git add <files> — stage only that group's files (use git add -p for partial staging).
2. •git commit -m "{message}" — commit staged changes.
3. •Check git log -1 --oneline and continue.

5) Final Report

After all groups:

• •List created commits in order.
• •Show remaining unstaged/uncommitted files, if any.
• •Suggest next checkpoint commit timing.

Safety Rules

• •Never commit without explicit user confirmation.
• •Never push unless explicitly requested.
• •If any commit fails, stop the sequence and ask how to proceed.
