Git Style Guide
This project is a version control style guide and contribution standard. It provides formal specifications for maintaining consistency in commit messaging, branch naming, and general development workflows within Git.
The guide focuses on organizing project history through atomic commit structuring and specific rebasing strategies to ensure a clean, linear timeline. It establishes standardized conventions for naming branches with ticket identifiers and formatting commit messages to explain the reasoning behind changes.
The framework also covers the coordination of team contributions through merge history management and software release versioning using annotated and lightweight tags.
