Tzurot v3 Git Workflow

Use this skill when: Creating commits, pushing changes, creating PRs, or performing any git operations.

Quick Reference

# Start feature
git checkout develop && git pull origin develop
git checkout -b feat/your-feature

# Test before commit
pnpm test

# Create PR to develop
gh pr create --base develop --title "feat: description"

🚨 Critical Rules

Never Merge Without User Approval

NEVER merge a PR without explicit user approval. This is non-negotiable.

• ✅ CI passing is necessary but NOT sufficient for merging
• ✅ User must explicitly approve/request the merge
• ❌ NEVER merge just because "CI is green"
• ❌ NEVER merge to "complete the task"

# Only merge with explicit user approval
gh pr merge <number> --rebase --delete-branch

Rebase-Only Workflow

NO SQUASH. NO MERGE COMMITS. ONLY REBASE.

GitHub settings enforce this - rebase and merge is the only option enabled. Merge commits and squash merges are disabled at the repository level.

Always Target develop for PRs

# ✅ CORRECT
gh pr create --base develop --title "feat: your feature"

# ❌ WRONG - Never create feature PRs to main!
gh pr create --base main --title "feat: your feature"

Test Before Push

pnpm test && git push origin <branch>

Standard Workflow

1. Create Feature Branch

git checkout develop
git pull origin develop
git checkout -b feat/your-feature-name

Branch prefixes: feat/, fix/, docs/, refactor/, chore/, test/

2. Commit Changes

git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
feat(ai-worker): add pgvector memory retrieval

)"

Types: feat, fix, docs, refactor, test, chore, style, perf Scopes: ai-worker, api-gateway, bot-client, common-types, ci, deps

3. Push and Create PR

git push -u origin feat/your-feature
gh pr create --base develop --title "feat: description"

4. After PR Merged

git checkout develop
git pull origin develop
git branch -d feat/your-feature

Git Safety Protocol

🚨 NEVER Run Without Permission:

Golden Rules

1. Uncommitted changes = HOURS OF WORK - Never discard without confirmation
2. Use safe alternatives: --force-with-lease, git branch -d (not -D)
3. When user says "get changes" → They mean COMMIT, not DISCARD

Git Hooks (Husky)

Managed by Husky - auto-installed on pnpm install.

Configuration:

• .husky/ - Hook scripts
• .lintstagedrc.json - Staged file linting
• commitlint.config.cjs - Commit message rules

Skip for docs-only changes: Pre-push auto-skips tests when only .md, .json, etc. files changed.

Never skip: Don't use --no-verify

Handling Rebase Conflicts

git checkout develop && git pull origin develop
git checkout feat/your-feature
git rebase develop

# If conflicts:
# 1. Resolve files
# 2. git add <resolved>
# 3. git rebase --continue
# Repeat until done

git push --force-with-lease origin feat/your-feature

Release Workflow

Option 1: Changesets (Recommended)

# During development: add changeset describing your changes
pnpm changeset

# Before release: check pending changesets
pnpm changeset:status

# Apply changesets and bump versions
pnpm changeset:version

# Review and commit
git add . && git commit -m "chore: version packages"
git push origin develop

Option 2: Manual Version Bump

# Use the bump-version script - handles all package.json files
pnpm bump-version 3.0.0-beta.31

# Review and commit
git diff
git commit -am "chore: bump version to 3.0.0-beta.31"
git push origin develop

Create Release PR

gh pr create --base main --head develop \
  --title "Release v3.0.0-beta.31: Description"

GitHub CLI Commands

🚨 Use ops gh:* Commands (Not gh pr edit)

The gh pr edit command is BROKEN due to GitHub's "Projects (classic) deprecation" GraphQL error. ALWAYS use the ops gh:* commands instead:

# ✅ PREFERRED - Use ops commands
pnpm ops gh:pr-info 478        # Get PR title, body, state
pnpm ops gh:pr-reviews 478     # Get all reviews
pnpm ops gh:pr-comments 478    # Get line-level review comments
pnpm ops gh:pr-conversation 478 # Get conversation comments
pnpm ops gh:pr-edit 478 --title "New title"  # Edit PR
pnpm ops gh:pr-edit 478 --body "New body"
pnpm ops gh:pr-edit 478 --body-file pr.md    # Body from file
pnpm ops gh:pr-all 478         # Get everything

# ❌ BROKEN - Do NOT use
gh pr edit 478 --title "..."   # GraphQL error!

Comment Types

PRs have THREE different comment types with different endpoints:

• Issue comments (general): ops gh:pr-conversation or /issues/{pr}/comments
• Review comments (line-specific): ops gh:pr-comments or /pulls/{pr}/comments
• Reviews (APPROVE, etc.): ops gh:pr-reviews
