git-workflow-and-versioning
Structures git workflow practices. Use when making any code change. Use when committing, branching, resolving conflicts, splitting uncommitted work in a messy working tree into clean atomic commits, opening or reviewing a pull request (PR), pushing to a remote, or when you need to organize work across multiple parallel streams. Use when cutting a release, choosing a semantic version bump, tagging, or writing a changelog. Use when asked to write a commit message or a changelog entry for a change, or to split a change into commits, even when the diff is pasted inline and the message seems easy to write from it.

# Git Workflow and Versioning
## Overview
Git is your safety net. Treat commits as save points, branches as sandboxes, and history as documentation. With AI agents generating code at high speed, disciplined version control is the mechanism that keeps changes manageable, reviewable, and reversible.
## When to Use
Always. Every code change flows through git.
## Core Principles
### Trunk-Based Development (Recommended)
