Git Workflow

Guided workflows for common git operations that benefit from structured steps.

PR Preparation

When preparing a pull request:

1. Gather context

   • git log main..HEAD --oneline — list all commits on the branch
   • git diff main...HEAD --stat — see all changed files
   • git status — check for uncommitted work

2. Draft PR content

   • Title: under 70 chars, describes the change (not the branch name)
   • Body: summarise the "why", list key changes, add test plan
   • Use the commit history to write the summary — don't rely on memory

3. Push and create
