Software Change Management Using Git
Workflow Automation for Git Commit Management
-
Examine all changes since the last commit:
- It should do a deepthink to truely understand the changes from a high-level. Think about the consequences and what the main purpose for this change is in terms of the direction we're going. Also, do a diff between the trunk for a further zoomed out view in terms of the full branch and how this commit contributes to the full story. Hand off findings via stream chaining to step 2.
- Look at any untracked files and determine if they should be added to the commit or inserted into the .gitignore. Perform the correct action.
-
Craft an idiomatic git commit message:
- Take the data handed to you from step 1 and create a single-line description, followed by a blank line and then an itemized high-level changelist
- Commit and push to HEAD
-
Resolve any edge cases:
- If push fails, resolve by pulling from head, resolving any conflicts, rebasing, or whatever needs to be done to rectify the situation
