Git Commits & Branches

When to use this skill

• Committing code.
• Creating new branches.
• Merging PRs.

1. Commit Messages

• Conventional Commits: Use type(scope): description.
  • Types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, test, chore.
• Scope: Lowercase, concise (e.g., auth, header).
• Body: Optional short description of why (not just what) if the change is complex.

2. Branch Naming

• Format: type/short-description (e.g., feat/add-login, fix/nav-bug).
• Separators: Use hyphens (-).
