Commit, PR, and Merge

Stage changes, commit with a descriptive message, create a PR, and merge to main.

Steps

1. **Check current state:**

git status
git diff --stat
git log --oneline -5

2. **Create a branch** from the current state:

git checkout -b <short-descriptive-branch-name>

3. **Stage files** — add specific files (never use `git add -A`):

git add <file1> <file2> ...

Do NOT stage `.claude/settings.local.json` or any files containing secrets.

4. **Commit** with a descriptive message:

If `$ARGUMENTS` is provided, use it as the commit message. Otherwise, analyze the staged changes and write a message that explains *why*, not just *what*.

git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
<commit message here>
EOF
)"

5. **Push and create PR:**

git push -u origin <branch-name>
gh pr create --title "<short title>" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'

6. **Merge and clean up:**

gh pr merge <pr-number> --merge --delete-branch
git checkout main
git pull

7. **Report** the PR URL and what was merged.

Important

  • Always create a NEW branch — never commit directly to main
  • Exclude `settings.local.json` and sensitive files from staging
  • Use `--merge` (not `--squash` or `--rebase`) unless asked otherwise
  • If the commit message from `$ARGUMENTS` is provided, use it exactly
