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 main is 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.
