Branch Strategy Patterns

GitHub Flow (Default for Most Projects)

main ─────────────────────────────────────────
  └── feat/SPEC-XXX-description ──── PR ──→ merge

Rules:

• main is always deployable
• Feature branches from main
• PR required for all merges
• Delete branch after merge

GitFlow (Complex Release Cycles)

main ──────────────────────────────────────────
  └── develop ─────────────────────────────────
        ├── feature/SPEC-XXX ──── PR ──→ develop
        └── release/v1.2.0 ────── PR ──→ main + develop

Trunk-Based (CI/CD Heavy)

main ──────────────────────────────────────────
  └── short-lived branch (< 1 day) ──→ merge

Branch Naming Convention

Conventional Commits Reference

Commit Message Structure

<type>(<scope>): <description>    # max 72 chars

[optional body]                    # what and why, not how

[optional footer]                  # Breaking changes, issue refs
BREAKING CHANGE: <description>
Refs: #123, SPEC-AUTH-001

Merge Strategy Selection

Git Safety Rules

Context Memory in Commits

Embed decision context in commit messages for future session continuity:

feat(auth): implement JWT refresh token rotation

Decision: Chose rotation over sliding window for security
Pattern: Middleware chain: RateLimit -> Auth -> Authz -> Handler
Gotcha: Token blacklist requires Redis, not just in-memory cache

Refs: SPEC-AUTH-001

Common Rationalizations

Red Flags

• Commit message does not follow conventional format (type(scope): description)
• Force push to main or shared release branch
• PR merged without CI passing
• Branch name does not indicate feature, fix, or SPEC reference
• Merge conflict markers found in committed files

Verification

• All commit messages follow conventional format (show git log --oneline)
• Branch name follows convention (feature/, fix/, chore/ prefix)
• No force pushes to main or protected branches (check reflog or CI)
• PR has passing CI checks before merge
• No merge conflict markers in committed files (grep for <<<<<<<)
• SPEC-ID referenced in commit message or PR description when applicable
