Git Workflows That Save My Sanity

After years of Git mishaps, I've built workflows that prevent disasters and save hours weekly.

The Pre-commit Hook That Saves Embarrassment

#!/bin/bash
# Check for debugging statements
if grep -r "console.log\|debugger\|TODO" --include="*.js" .; then
  echo "⚠️  Debugging statements found!"
  exit 1
fi

Automatic Branch Naming

alias feature='git checkout -b feature/$(date +%Y%m%d)-$1'

Now feature "user-auth" creates feature/20240122-user-auth.

The Commit Message Template

[TYPE] Brief description

Why:
- Context for this change

What:
- Specific changes made

Testing:
- How to verify it works

The Weekly Cleanup Script

Deletes merged branches, prunes remotes, and garbage collects. Keeps the repo clean and fast.

ROI

These automations save ~5 hours per week and countless prevented mistakes. The time invested in setting them up paid back in days.
