Best Practices
✅ DO
Choose workflow matching team size and release cycle
Keep feature branches short lived (< 3 days)
Use descriptive branch names with type prefix
Require code review before merging to main
Enforce protection rules on main/release branches
Rebase frequently to minimize conflicts
Write atomic, logical commits
Keep commit messages clear and consistent
❌ DON'T
Commit directly to main branch
Create long lived feature branches
Use vague branch names (dev, test, temp)
Merge without code review
Mix multiple features in one branch
Force push to shared branches
Ignore failing CI checks
Merge with merge commits in TBD
