ace-pm b29c12d5e5 refactor(native): rename gsd_parser.rs to forge_parser.rs
Final rebrand: rename remaining Rust source file to complete the gsd → forge
transition. All parser references already use forge_parser after earlier commits.

# Git & Worktrees
SF uses git for milestone isolation and sequential commits. The strategy is fully automated — you don't need to manage branches manually.
## Isolation Modes
SF supports three isolation modes, configured via `git.isolation` in preferences:
| Mode | Working Directory | Branch | Best For |
|------|-------------------|--------|----------|
| `worktree` (default) | `.sf/worktrees/<MID>/` | `milestone/<MID>` | Most projects — full isolation |
| `branch` | Project root | `milestone/<MID>` | Submodule-heavy repos |
| `none` | Project root | Current branch | Hot-reload workflows |
### Worktree Mode (Default)
Each milestone gets its own git worktree and branch. All execution happens inside the worktree. On completion, everything is squash-merged to main as one clean commit. The worktree and branch are then cleaned up.
Changes in a milestone can't interfere with your main working copy.
### Branch Mode
Work happens in the project root on a `milestone/<MID>` branch. No worktree directory is created. Useful when worktrees cause problems with submodules or hardcoded paths.
### None Mode
Work happens directly on your current branch. No worktree, no milestone branch. SF still commits with conventional commit messages. Use this when file isolation breaks dev tooling (file watchers, hot-reload, etc.).
## Branching Model
```
main ────────────────────────────────────────────
│ ↑
└── milestone/M001 (worktree) ─────────────┘
commit: feat: core types
commit: feat: markdown parser
commit: feat: file writer
→ squash-merged to main
```
## Workflow Modes
Set `mode` for sensible defaults instead of configuring each setting individually:
```yaml
mode: solo # personal projects
mode: team # shared repos
```
| Setting | `solo` | `team` |
|---------|--------|--------|
| `git.auto_push` | `true` | `false` |
| `git.push_branches` | `false` | `true` |
| `git.pre_merge_check` | `false` | `true` |
| `unique_milestone_ids` | `false` | `true` |
Mode defaults are the lowest priority — any explicit preference overrides them.
## Git Preferences
```yaml
git:
auto_push: false # push after commits
push_branches: false # push milestone branch to remote
remote: origin # git remote name
snapshots: true # WIP snapshot commits during long tasks
pre_merge_check: auto # validation before merge
commit_type: feat # override conventional commit prefix
main_branch: main # primary branch name
merge_strategy: squash # "squash" or "merge"
isolation: worktree # "worktree", "branch", or "none"
commit_docs: true # commit .sf/ artifacts to git
manage_gitignore: true # let SF manage .gitignore
auto_pr: false # create PR on milestone completion
pr_target_branch: develop # PR target branch
```
## Automatic Pull Requests
For teams using Gitflow or branch-based workflows:
```yaml
git:
auto_push: true
auto_pr: true
pr_target_branch: develop
```
When a milestone completes, SF pushes the branch and creates a PR targeting your specified branch. Requires `gh` CLI installed and authenticated.
## Post-Worktree Hook
Run a script after worktree creation (copy `.env` files, symlink assets, etc.):
```yaml
git:
worktree_post_create: .sf/hooks/post-worktree-create
```
Example hook:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
cp "$SOURCE_DIR/.env" "$WORKTREE_DIR/.env"
ln -sf "$SOURCE_DIR/assets" "$WORKTREE_DIR/assets"
```
## Keeping `.sf/` Local
For teams where only some members use SF:
```yaml
git:
commit_docs: false
```
This adds `.sf/` to `.gitignore` entirely. You get structured planning without affecting teammates who don't use SF.
## Commit Format
Commits use conventional commit format with SF metadata:
```
feat: core type definitions
SF-Task: M001/S01/T01
```
## Manual Worktree Management
Use `/worktree` (or `/wt`) for manual worktree operations:
```
/worktree create
/worktree switch
/worktree merge
/worktree remove
```
## Self-Healing
SF automatically recovers from common git issues:
- **Detached HEAD** — reattaches to the correct branch
- **Stale lock files** — removes `index.lock` from crashed processes
- **Orphaned worktrees** — detects and cleans up abandoned worktrees
Run `/sf doctor` to check git health manually.
