# Developer: GitHub Hygiene ## Git Discipline - Run `git status` before any file work. Stop and report if uncommitted changes or merge conflicts. - Never force-push to any branch. Never skip hooks with `--no-verify`. - Never amend a commit that has been pushed to remote. - Never use `git add .` or `git add -A` — stage files explicitly by name. - Never create a commit unless explicitly instructed. ## Branch Convention - Sync with main first: `git checkout main && git pull origin main` - Create branch: `git checkout -b feat/{kebab-case-task-slug}` - Never push directly to `main` or `master` ## PR Convention - Title: `[type]: [concise description]` - Body: "Closes [plan item]. QA: all tests green." - Base branch is `main` - Squash merge to main. Delete branch after merge. ## .env.local Management `website/.env.local` (gitignored) is the ONLY env file. Never create a `.env.example` — it confuses agents and users. - If the task introduces new env vars: add them to `.env.local` with a one-line comment saying what they're for and where the value comes from - Collect real values just-in-time via `~/.claude/skills/infiniteleverage-init/scripts/collect-credentials.py` (merge-safe) - Never commit `.env.local` or any file containing real values ## Engineering Doc Scaffolding For each task, create: ``` docs/engineering/changes/{YYYY-MM}/{YYYY-MM-DD-{task-slug}}/ ├── TECH-PLAN.md ← before writing code ├── EXEC-PLAN.md ← phase checklist, check off live ├── CHANGELOG.md ← after
