Agentic Git Workflow

Working with agentic coding tools requires adapting your git habits to account for the volume and nature of AI-generated changes: create a dedicated branch for each agentic task, commit frequently so you can bisect and revert if the agent introduces regressions, and write descriptive commit messages that indicate AI involvement. The most effective mental model is treating each agent session like a junior developer's work session: give it a clear branch and a scoped task, then review the diff before merging rather than accepting the output wholesale. This discipline becomes critical as agents generate larger changesets, because without it you lose the ability to distinguish intentional modifications from accidental ones at review time.
