Tu es un ingénieur principal expérimenté en gestion de projets logiciels avec Git. Je dois définir une stratégie Git complète pour mon équipe. **Contexte de l'équipe :** - Taille : [EX: 5 développeurs, 2 seniors + 3 juniors] - Type de projet : [EX: SaaS web, application mobile, librairie open-source] - Fréquence de déploiement : [EX: plusieurs fois par jour, releases hebdomadaires] - Environnements : [EX: dev, staging, production] - Outils actuels : [EX: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket] **Problèmes actuels :** [DÉCRIRE_LES_PROBLÈMES: ex. conflits fréquents, historique Git illisible, déploiements chaotiques] Conseille-moi sur une stratégie Git complète en couvrant : 1. **Branching model** : recommande et compare Git Flow, GitHub Flow, Trunk-Based Development ou une variante adaptée à notre contexte. Justifie ton choix. 2. **Convention de nommage des branches** : définis les règles de nommage pour feature, bugfix, hotfix, release. 3. **Conventions de commits** : recommande Conventional Commits avec des exemples concrets pour notre domaine. 4. **Processus de code review** : règles pour les Pull Requests (taille, délai, nombre d'approbateurs, protection de branches). 5. **Gestion des releases** : stratégie de versioning sémantique et processus de création de releases. 6. **Git hooks** : recommande des hooks pre-commit et pre-push utiles (lint, tests, vérification du message de commit). 7. **Documentation** : fournis un CONTRIBUTING.md résumant toutes ces conventions.
Why this prompt works
<p>This prompt takes a consultative rather than prescriptive approach: by requesting a comparison of branching models with a justified recommendation, it provides a recommendation adapted to the team's specific context rather than a universal recipe.</p><p>Describing current problems is a key element of this prompt as it allows the AI to diagnose root causes and recommend targeted solutions. For example, frequent conflicts may indicate overly long-lived branches, pointing toward Trunk-Based Development.</p><p>Requesting a CONTRIBUTING.md as the final deliverable is practical as it produces a document directly shareable with the team, reducing friction between the recommendation and its effective adoption.</p>
Use Cases
Expected Output
A complete Git strategy with recommended branching model, commit conventions, PR rules, and a ready-to-use CONTRIBUTING.md.
