# Git Workflow Standard

Use a dedicated branch for every non-secondary change.

- Create a branch before editing code (`feat/*`, `fix/*`, `refactor/*`, `docs/*`, `chore/*`).
- Keep `main` as stable integration branch and avoid direct significant changes on it.
- Use focused commits with clear messages that explain intent.
- Merge to `main` only after validation and review.
- Keep tiny secondary edits (typos/comments/minor spacing) lightweight when explicitly requested.
