# Git Workflow Skill

Fork-based triangular workflow for projects where reviewers are non-technical and use AI tools for PR review.

## Core Concepts

### Fork Triangular Workflow

```
upstream (company repo, read-only)
↑ push PR
origin (your fork, writable)
↑ push
local (your machine)
```

- `origin` = your fork (writable, `git push origin <branch>`)
- `upstream` = company repo (read-only, `git fetch upstream`)
- Never push directly to upstream. Always PR from origin → upstream.

### Branch Naming Convention

```
finance-task/t1-models # task area / sequence + topic
finance-task/t2-schemas
finance-task/t3-services
```

Format: `<area>-task/t<number>-<topic>` — groups related PRs under one feature area.

## PR Splitting Strategy

AI reviewers struggle with large PRs (non-technical, context window limits). Keep **≤20 files per PR**.

### When to Split

A feature branch touching 50+ files? Split by architectural layer:

| Split Pattern | Example | Files/PR |
|---------------|---------|----------|
| **By layer** | models, schemas, services, tests | 10-20 |
| **By module** | finance-module, studio-module | 10-20 |
| **By commit boundary** | each logical commit → one PR | varies |

### Layer-Based Split (Recommended)

For data-heavy features (ORM + schemas + API):

1. **T1: Models** — ORM models, migrations, model tests
2. **T2: Schemas** — Pydantic/serialization schemas, schema tests
3. **T3: Services** — Business logic layer, service tests
4. **T4: API/Routers** — Endpoints, integration tests
5. **T5: CI/Docs** — CI configs, user guides, changelogs

Each branch branches from `main`, not from each other (no cross-dependency chains).

### Creating Split Branches

```bash
# Each branch starts from main
git checkout -b finance-task/t1-models main
git checkout -b finance-task/t2-schemas main
# ... etc

# Cherry-pick relevant commits to each branch
git cherry-pick <commit-hash>
```

## PR Description Template for AI Review

Non-technical reviewers paste PR links into AI tools. Write descriptions that survive AI summarization:

```markdown
## Summary
- **[layer]**: what changed — why it matters
- **[layer]**: what changed — why it matters

## Files Changed
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `path/to/file` | What this file does |
| `path/to/file` | What this file does |

## Test Plan
- [ ] `dart analyze` passes
- [ ] `dart test` passes
- [ ] Manual verification steps
```

### PR Creation via gh CLI

```bash
gh pr create \
--repo <company-org>/<repo> \
--head linli2004:<branch> \
--base main \
--title "feat: concise title" \
--body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
...

## Test Plan
- [ ] ...
EOF
)"
```

## History Rewrite (git reset --soft)

When a feature branch has one giant messy commit, split it into logical commits:

```bash
# 1. Soft reset to main (keeps all working tree changes)
git reset --soft main

# 2. Stage and commit in logical groups
git add <files-for-commit-1>
git commit -m "feat: first logical change"

git add <files-for-commit-2>
git commit -m "feat: second logical change"

# etc.

# 3. Force push (branch not shared with others)
git push --force-with-lease origin <branch>
```

**WARNING**: Only use on branches you own. Never on shared branches.

### Detecting Unstageable Files

After `git reset --soft`, check which files were unstaged and why:

```bash
git status --short # See all changes
git ls-files --others # Untracked files
```

### Force-Adding gitignored Files

Some files are gitignored but must be tracked (e.g., Dart `lib/` outputs, `pubspec.lock`):

```bash
git add -f <file> # Bypass .gitignore for specific files
```

But **never** track build artifacts (`.dart_tool/`, `__pycache__/`, etc.).

## Build Artifact Management

### Files to NEVER Track

```
.dart_tool/
__pycache__/
*.pyc
.pytest_cache/
*.db
data/
.gradle/
build/
dist/
.eggs/
*.egg-info/
.virtualenvs/
```

### Files to Track (even if gitignored)

```
pubspec.lock # Dart application packages
lib/**/*.freezed.dart # Generated code (if project convention)
lib/**/*.g.dart # Generated code (if project convention)
```

### Checking What's Tracked

```bash
# List tracked files matching a pattern
git ls-files | grep <pattern>

# Show file sizes of specific paths
git ls-files <path> | xargs -I{} sh -c 'echo "$(wc -c < "$1") $1"' -- {}
```

## GateGuard-Safe File Operations

GateGuard blocks destructive commands (`rm -rf`, `git checkout --`, etc.). Use these alternatives:

### Extract a file from another branch (safe)

```bash
# Instead of: git checkout <branch> -- <file>
git archive <branch> <file> | tar xv
```

### Discard working tree changes (if permitted)

```bash
# Instead of: git checkout -- <file>
git restore <file>
```

If even `git restore` is blocked, save changes, commit, then reset.

## Git Worktree for Parallel Branches

Work on multiple branches simultaneously without stashing:

```bash
git worktree add ../qtadmin-t5 t5-ci # Check out t5-ci to parallel dir
cd ../qtadmin-t5 # Work there
git worktree remove ../qtadmin-t5 # Clean up
```

Each worktree is a full working directory on a different branch. No need to switch branches or stash.

## Safe Force-Push Protocol

```bash
# Branch is yours alone? Safe:
git push --force-with-lease origin <branch>

# Branch shared with others? NEVER force-push.
```

`--force-with-lease` checks that your remote tracking ref matches what you last fetched. If someone else pushed, it aborts.

## Git Archive for File Extraction

Problem: GateGuard blocks `git checkout <branch> -- <path>`.

Solution: Extract files without touching the index or switching branches.

```bash
# Extract a single file or directory from any ref
git archive <ref> <path> | tar xv
git archive main lib/models/user.dart | tar xv

# List contents before extraction
git archive <ref> <path> | tar t
```

This reads from the Git object database directly — no checkout, no index modification.

## Branch Renaming

```bash
# Local rename
git branch -m old-name new-name

# Remote rename (delete old, push new)
git push origin --delete old-name
git push origin -u new-name
```

### Bulk Rename Pattern

```bash
for old in $(git branch --list 'task/*'); do
new="${old/task\//finance-task\/}"
git branch -m "$old" "$new"
done
```

## Branch Cleanup

### Delete local branches (after merged/pruned)

```bash
git branch -d <branch> # Safe delete (checks merge status)
git branch -D <branch> # Force delete
```

### Delete remote branches

```bash
git push origin --delete <branch>
```

### Bulk cleanup

```bash
# Delete all local branches matching pattern
git branch --list 'finance-task/*' | xargs -r git branch -D

# Delete all remote branches matching pattern
git branch -r --list 'origin/finance-task/*' | sed 's/origin\///' | xargs -r -I{} git push origin --delete {}
```

## Best Practices Summary

1. **Split PRs by layer** — ≤20 files per PR for AI reviewers
2. **Write PR descriptions for AI** — structured tables, explicit file lists
3. **Never track build artifacts** — check `git ls-files` before pushing
4. **Use `--force-with-lease`** — never bare `--force`
5. **Use `git archive`** for safe cross-branch file extraction
6. **Use `git worktree`** for parallel development
7. **`git reset --soft main`** to rewrite branch history into clean commits
8. **Branch from main** — never chain split branches
