Branch Protection & Enforcement

  • Enable branch protection on main with strict rules
  • Require 1+ code reviews and all CI checks to pass
  • Prevent direct commits - all changes via pull requests
  • Include administrators in restrictions

Documentation Suite

  • Add CONTRIBUTING.md with complete contribution guidelines
  • Add BRANCHING.md with detailed naming conventions and strategies
  • Create comprehensive PR template with quality checklists
  • Add 3 GitHub issue templates (bug report, feature request, docs)

Workflow Automation

  • Configure 5 GitHub CLI aliases for streamlined development:
    • gh pr-create: Auto-fill PR creation with self-assignment
    • gh pr-checks: Monitor CI status and results
    • gh pr-merge: Squash merge with branch cleanup
    • gh feature: Create branch from GitHub issue
    • gh workflow-status: View recent workflow runs

Claude Code Integration

  • Update CLAUDE.md with complete Git workflow instructions
  • Add README.md workflow section with quick start guide
  • Include troubleshooting guides and best practices
  • Document conventional commit message format

Testing & Validation

  • Successfully tested branch protection (direct commits blocked)
  • Created test PR to validate complete workflow
  • Verified all GitHub CLI aliases function correctly
  • Confirmed CI integration with status checks

This establishes a production-ready Git workflow with automated
enforcement, comprehensive documentation, and streamlined tooling
for efficient collaborative development.
