Claude Code git workflows: branches, commits, and rollbacks without leaving your terminal One of the most underrated Claude Code features is how well it integrates with git. You can do your entire git workflow — branch, code, test, commit, PR — without switching to a terminal or Git GUI. Here's how I actually use this. The basic pattern Every feature starts with a branch: > create a new branch called feature/user-auth and implement JWT authentication for the /api/users endpoint Claude will: Run git checkout -b feature/user-auth Write the code Stage and commit with a descriptive message All in one shot. Atomic commits by feature For larger changes, I tell Claude to commit incrementally: > refactor the payment module. commit after each logical unit of change — data layer, service layer, API layer separately This gives you a clean, reviewable commit history rather than one massive dump. Sample output from Claude: ✓ Commit 1: refactor(payment): extract PaymentRepository from PaymentS
