| 1 | +# Git Context Switcher - Next Steps |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Project Overview |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +Git Context Switcher is a tool that helps users switch between different Git configurations (personal, work, client projects, etc.) using Git's conditional includes feature. It creates and manages separate config files in the `.gitconfig.d` directory and updates the main `.gitconfig` with appropriate conditional includes. |

| 14 | +## Next Steps |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +### High Priority |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +1. **Complete FileSystem service improvements** |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | + - Finish error handling improvements in the `_ensureTestDirectories` method |
| 21 | + - Add better error messaging for permission issues |
| 22 | + - Implement file locking for concurrent operations |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +2. **Documentation Enhancement** |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | + - Update README with more detailed examples |
| 27 | + - Add troubleshooting section |
| 28 | + - Document all available commands and options |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +3. **Testing** |
| 31 | + - Increase test coverage (aim for >80%) |
| 32 | + - Add more integration tests |
| 33 | + - Add tests for edge cases around file permissions |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +### Medium Priority |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +1. **Feature Enhancements** (v1.1.0) |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | + - Add support for automatic context detection based on repository URL |
| 40 | + - Implement context templates for quick setup |
| 41 | + - Add ability to export/import contexts for sharing |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +2. **Performance Improvements** (v1.2.0) |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | + - Optimize file operations for large git config files |
| 46 | + - Implement caching for frequently accessed configs |
| 47 | + |

| 56 | + |
| 57 | + - Add specific handling for Windows paths |
| 58 | + - Create installation scripts for different platforms |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +2. **Integration** (v1.5.0) |
| 61 | + - Create hooks for popular IDEs and editors |
| 62 | + - Add integration with other Git tools |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +## Version Planning |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +### Semantic Versioning Guidelines |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +- **MAJOR (X.0.0)**: Breaking changes that are not backward compatible |
| 69 | +- **MINOR (0.X.0)**: New features that are backward compatible |
| 70 | +- **PATCH (0.0.X)**: Bug fixes and minor improvements that are backward compatible |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +### Release Planning |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +1. **v1.0.x Patches**: |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | + - Bug fixes |
| 77 | + - Documentation improvements |
| 78 | + - Minor optimizations |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +2. **v1.1.0 - v1.5.0**: |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | + - Feature additions as outlined above |
| 83 | + - Each feature set should be released as a minor version increment |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +3. **v2.0.0 (Future)**: |
| 86 | + - Consider for any breaking changes to the API or CLI interface |
| 87 | + - Major architectural improvements |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +### Release Process |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +1. Update version in package.json |
| 92 | +2. Update CHANGELOG.md with changes |
| 93 | +3. Create git tag for the version |
| 94 | +4. Push to GitHub |
| 95 | +5. Publish to npm |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +## Notes |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +- Remember to follow security best practices when dealing with potentially sensitive git config data |
| 100 | +- Keep the validation of path safety as a top priority |
| 101 | +- Consider backward compatibility when making changes |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +## Implementation Decisions |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +- Continue using fs-extra for file operations due to its promise support and enhanced API |
| 106 | +- Maintain ES modules pattern for better future compatibility |
| 107 | +- Keep the configuration format simple and compatible with Git's native format |
