Git Workflow Enforcer

Enforces consistent Git workflows including commit messages, branch naming, and PR processes.

When to Use

  • Creating commits or branches
  • Code review or PR creation
  • User mentions "git workflow", "commit message", "branch naming", or "pull request"

Instructions

1. Detect Existing Conventions

Check for:

  • .github/ or .gitlab/ templates
  • CONTRIBUTING.md
  • Existing commit message patterns
  • Branch naming patterns

2. Conventional Commits

Format: type(scope): description

Types:

  • feat: New feature
  • fix: Bug fix
  • docs: Documentation
  • style: Formatting, missing semicolons
  • refactor: Code restructuring
  • perf: Performance improvement
  • test: Adding tests
  • chore: Maintenance, dependencies

Examples:

feat(auth): add OAuth2 login support
fix(api): handle null response in user endpoint
docs(readme): update installation instructions
refactor(utils): simplify date formatting logic

3. Branch Naming

Common patterns:

feature/user-authentication
bugfix/login-error-handling
hotfix/critical-security-patch
release/v1.2.0
chore/update-dependencies

Validate:

  • Lowercase with hyphens
  • Prefixed with type
  • Descriptive name
  • Issue number if applicable: feature/123-add-dark-mode

4. Commit Message Validation

Good commit:

feat(payments): integrate Stripe payment gateway

- Add Stripe SDK configuration
- Implement payment intent creation
- Add webhook handler for payment events
- Update tests for payment flow

Closes #456

Check for:

  • Subject line ≤50 characters
  • Body wrapped at 72 characters
  • Blank line between subject and body
  • Imperative mood ("add" not "added")
  • Reference to issue/ticket

5. PR Template

Create .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md:

markdown
## Description
<!-- What does this PR do? -->

## Type of Change
- [ ] Bug fix
- [ ] New feature
- [ ] Breaking change
- [ ] Documentation update

## Testing
<!-- How was this tested? -->

## Checklist
- [ ] Code follows project style guidelines
- [ ] Self-review completed
- [ ] Comments added for complex code
- [ ] Documentation updated
- [ ] Tests added/updated
- [ ] All tests passing
- [ ] No new warnings

## Related Issues
Closes #

6. Commit Hooks

Pre-commit:

bash
#!/bin/sh
# .git/hooks/pre-commit

# Run linter
npm run lint

# Run tests
npm test

# Check for sensitive data
if git diff --cached | grep -i "password\|api_key\|secret"; then
  echo "Error: Possible sensitive data detected"
  exit 1
fi

Commit-msg:

bash
#!/bin/sh
# .git/hooks/commit-msg

commit_msg=$(cat "$1")

# Check conventional commit format
if ! echo "$commit_msg" | grep -qE "^(feat|fix|docs|style|refactor|perf|test|chore)(\(.+\))?: .+"; then
  echo "Error: Commit message must follow Conventional Commits format"
  echo "Example: feat(auth): add login feature"
  exit 1
fi

7. Validate Existing Commits

Check recent commits for pattern adherence:

bash
git log --oneline -20 | grep -v "^[a-f0-9]\{7\} (feat|fix|docs|style|refactor|perf|test|chore)"

8. Generate Changelog

From conventional commits:

bash
# Using standard-version
npx standard-version

# Or manually group by type
git log --pretty=format:"%s" | grep "^feat" > features.txt
git log --pretty=format:"%s" | grep "^fix" > fixes.txt

9. Protected Branches

GitHub settings:

  • Require PR reviews
  • Require status checks
  • Require signed commits
  • Restrict who can push
  • Require linear history

10. Best Practices

  • Atomic commits: One logical change per commit
  • Descriptive messages: Explain why, not what
  • Frequent commits: Small, frequent over large, rare
  • Clean history: Squash/rebase before merge
  • Sign commits: GPG signature for security
  • Reference issues: Link to tracking system

Git Commit Template

Create .gitmessage:

<type>(<scope>): <subject>

<body>

<footer>

# Type: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, chore
# Scope: component or file affected
# Subject: imperative, lowercase, no period, ≤50 chars
# Body: explain what and why, not how, wrapped at 72 chars
# Footer: breaking changes, issue references

Set as template:

bash
git config --global commit.template ~/.gitmessage
