Professional workflows and techniques used by expert developers
Write clear, descriptive commit messages using conventional commit format. Start with type (feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, test, chore) followed by a concise description.
Use consistent branch naming: feature/description, bugfix/issue-number, hotfix/urgent-fix. Keep branches focused and short-lived to minimize merge conflicts.
Create small, focused PRs with clear descriptions. Request reviews from appropriate team members. Address feedback promptly and use comments to explain decisions.
Maintain a comprehensive .gitignore file to exclude build artifacts, dependencies, and sensitive files. Use global .gitignore for user-specific files.
Use rebase for local branch cleanup to maintain linear history. Use merge for integrating feature branches to preserve branch history and context.
