## What it is
A community-driven Git style guide covering branch naming, commit messages, merging, and general Git workflow conventions. It is a documentation resource inspired by Linux kernel contribution practices and git man pages, available in many translations.

## Use cases
- standardize git branch naming across a team
- write better commit messages
- define a team git workflow convention
- learn git best practices for merging
- onboard new developers to a git style guide

## When to choose
- you want a well-established, widely-translated reference for git conventions
- you need a starting point for your team's git style guide
- you want guidance on branch naming and commit message style

## When to avoid
- you need tooling that enforces conventions automatically
- your team already follows a different standard like Conventional Commits
- you need a tutorial for learning git from scratch

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: documentation, version-control, developer-tools
- domain: version-control, developer-tools, documentation
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: git, style-guide, best-practices, conventions, branching, commit-messages
