Git Workflows

This handles git and GitHub operations with a clear philosophy: use raw git and gh commands for everything except worktree lifecycle management, where the custom gw tool adds issue-driven workflows that fetch titles and generate branch names automatically. It enforces Conventional Commits format with types like feat, fix, and refactor, plus project-specific scopes. The documentation is thorough, covering daily workflows, read and write operations, branching strategies, and conflict resolution. The worktree integration is the real hook here, letting you spin up parallel workspaces tied to GitHub issues and then finish them with one command that commits, pushes, merges, and cleans up. Good for teams that want commit discipline without fighting their tools.
