Branch and Refactor Hygiene
Branches
- Work on feature branches. Use descriptive names:
feature/auth-login,fix/null-pointer-profile,chore/update-deps. - Before creating a PR, ensure the branch is up to date with the base branch.
- After merge, delete the branch. First commit on
mainis acceptable for fresh repos. - Keep feature branches short-lived: merge within 1-2 days. Use feature flags for incomplete work that lands on main.
Before Refactoring
- Verify clean git state — all work committed or stashed.
- Run the full test suite to establish a passing baseline.
- Document the refactoring scope: what changes, what is preserved.
- Commit frequently during the refactor. Run tests after each step.
