docs: add git workflow guidelines to prevent force pushing#21207
Merged
Conversation
When working on PRs, Claude Code was sometimes force pushing to branches. This adds simple git workflow guidelines emphasizing: - Check out PR branches properly (fetch, checkout, pull) - Don't use git push --force unless explicitly requested Examples of PRs with multiple commits from iterative work: - #21148: 7 commits including merge commit - #21150: 9 commits with iterative documentation changes - #21182: 4 commits with fixes - Also observed force updates on feat/add-tasks-template-flag branch 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
