git

constraints

• stage files explicitly, NEVER git add -A (unstaged changes may not be yours)
• NEVER force push (--force, -f, --force-with-lease)
• if unsure which changes are yours, ask user
• commit format: type(scope): description (lowercase, imperative)
• types: feat fix docs style refactor perf test chore
• prefer gh cli for github operations (PRs, issues, repo info) — auth is pre-configured via sops

ship

stage YOUR changes, commit, push.

git status
git add <your-files>
git diff --staged
git commit -m "type(scope): description"
git push

if push fails (divergence): git fetch origin && git rebase origin/main && git push

hunks

selective staging without interactive mode.

git hunks list           # shows hunks with IDs
git hunks add <id>       # stages specific hunk
git hunks add 1 3 5      # stage multiple hunks

use when you need to split changes across commits.

worktree

parallel branches in sibling directories.

wt <name>                               # create worktree + new branch (authoring)
wt pr <number>                          # create worktree from PR's remote branch (reviewing)
git worktree list                       # see all
git worktree remove ../<name>           # cleanup

wt checks for ./bare-repo.git and uses it as git dir if present.

naming: axm-{id} / ai-{id} for authoring (Linear issue), pr-{number} for reviewing.
