Create standardized git commits following Terrae's conventions.

Instructions

  1. Check Current State

    • Run git status to see changed files
    • Run git diff to see the actual changes
  2. Review Changes with User

    • Summarize what files were changed
    • Explain the nature of changes (new feature, bug fix, refactor, etc.)
    • Ask the user if they want to proceed with the commit
  3. Stage Files

    • Stage specific files by name (avoid git add -A or git add .)
    • Never stage sensitive files (.env, credentials, etc.)
  4. Commit Message Format Follow conventional commits:

    type(scope): description
    

    Types:

    • feat: New feature
    • fix: Bug fix
    • docs: Documentation changes
    • style: Formatting, no code change
    • refactor: Code restructuring
    • test: Adding or updating tests
    • chore: Maintenance tasks

    Examples:

    • feat(marker): add rotation support
    • fix(popup): prevent memory leak on unmount
    • docs(readme): update installation instructions
  5. New Component Convention

    When committing a new component, split into 3 separate commits in this order:

    1. feat(map): add {component} component — the source file (src/registry/map/{slug}.tsx)
    2. feat(docs): add {component} example components — all example files (src/app/docs/_components/examples/{slug}-*.tsx)
    3. feat(docs): add {component} documentation page — the docs page (src/app/docs/{slug}/page.tsx)

    Shared file modifications (sidebar, components page, changelog, registry.json, barrel export) should be committed separately since they often contain changes for multiple components.

  6. Important Rules

    • Do NOT add Co-Authored-By lines
    • Do NOT commit until user approves
    • Do NOT use --amend unless explicitly requested
    • Do NOT push unless explicitly requested
    • Keep commit messages concise (under 72 characters)
  7. Create the Commit

    git commit -m "type(scope): description"
    
  8. Verify

    • Run git status to confirm commit succeeded
    • Show the commit hash to the user
