Git & GitHub Workflows

Treat Git as the audit trail for code, prompts, and config: ignore secrets, branch for experiments, commit with intent, and wire PRs + CI the same way professional AI teams ship.

Code as Versioned History

Git is more than just a backup tool. It is a communication tool. Every commit is a record of why a change was made. In AI engineering, where prompts and models change frequently, a clean Git history is vital.

Key workflows:

  • Feature Branching: Developing in isolation.
  • Pull Requests: Human (or AI) review of changes before merge.
  • Continuous Integration (CI): Automatically running tests on every push.
In an AI project, why should you include your prompt changes in your Git commits?
