MCAF: Source Control

Apply MCAF source-control guidance for repository structure, branch naming, merge strategy, commit hygiene, and secrets-in-git discipline. Use when bootstrapping a repo, tightening PR flow, or documenting branch and release policy.

Trigger On

  • bootstrapping source-control policy
  • tightening branch, merge, or PR rules
  • documenting commit or release hygiene
  • dealing with secrets-in-git or repository structure issues

Workflow

  1. Agree on merge and release strategy before scaling implementation.
  2. Keep branch and PR rules explicit in-repo.
  3. Treat secrets in git history as a critical incident, not cleanup noise.
  4. Use concrete policy language, not hand-waving.

Deliver

  • clear branch and merge strategy
  • updated contribution or governance docs
  • safer repository hygiene around commits, PRs, and secrets

Validate

  • naming and merge rules are explicit
  • release/versioning implications are documented where needed
  • secret hygiene is treated as policy, not tribal knowledge
