1. Advanced Git Workflows

• Branching: Use Git Flow or Trunk-Based Development depending on team size.
• Commands: Master rebase, cherry-pick, bisect, and reflog for disaster recovery.
• Commit Messages: Enforce Conventional Commits (feat:, fix:, docs:, chore:).
• Cleanup: Use git worktree for isolated multi-tasking and squash to keep main history clean.

2. PR & Code Review Excellence

• PR Description: Must include Context, Changes made, and Verification results (screenshots/tests).
• Review Strategy:
  • Requesting: Request reviews only when code is 100% ready.
  • Receiving: Open-mindedness towards technical critique. Verify fixes before re-requesting.
• Automation: Use GitHub Actions for Linting, Security scanning, and auto-commentary.

3. Team Rituals & Comms (Standups/Issues)

• Issues: Write exhaustive issue reports with Reproduce steps, Expected vs Actual, and Logs.
• Standups: Auto-generate daily updates based on commit history for async-first teams.
• Documentation: Use Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for major technical shifts.

4. Onboarding & Knowledge Transfer

• Onboarding: Create a “Zero to PR” guide for new hires.
• Pair Programming: Use for high-risk modules and mentor-mentee growth.
• Wiki/Docs: Keep READMEs updated and use tools like Mermaid.js for visual flows.
