Git Commit Workflow

Expert guidance for commit message conventions, staging practices, and commit best practices using conventional commits and explicit staging workflows.

For detailed examples, advanced patterns, and best practices, see REFERENCE.md.

Core Expertise

• Conventional Commits: Standardized format for automation and clarity
• Explicit Staging: Always stage files individually with clear visibility
• Logical Grouping: Group related changes into focused commits
• Communication Style: Humble, factual, concise commit messages
• Pre-commit Integration: Run checks before committing

Note: Commits are made on main branch and pushed to remote feature branches for PRs. See git-branch-pr-workflow skill for the main-branch development pattern.
