# Ship Changes

Commit current changes, push to remote, and update the PR.

## Step 1: Analyze changes

1. Run `git diff --stat` and `git diff` to understand what changed
2. Run `git status` to see untracked files
3. Run `git log --oneline -3` to match the repo's commit message style

## Step 2: Commit

1. Stage only the relevant changed/untracked files by name (never `git add -A` or `git add .`)
2. Write a concise commit message that focuses on the "why" not the "what"
   - If `` is provided, use it as the commit message
   - Otherwise, draft one from the diff
3. Commit. If hooks fail, diagnose and fix — do NOT use `--no-verify`

## Step 3: Push

1. Check if the branch tracks a remote: `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref --symbolic-full-name @{u}`
2. If not tracking, push with `-u origin <branch>`
3. If tracking, just `git push`
4. If push is rejected (remote has new commits), pull with rebase first then push

## Step 4: Update PR

1. Find the open PR for the current branch: `gh pr view --json number,body,title`
2. If no PR exists, skip this step and inform the user
3. Compare the current PR body against the new changes:
   - If the changes are within the existing PR scope, update the description to reflect the current state
   - If the changes are additive or a follow-up, add a PR comment summarizing what was just pushed instead
4. When updating the PR body, preserve the overall structure but refresh the summary bullets and test plan
5. When adding a comment, keep it concise — bullet points of what changed and why
6. **Before making any PR update (description edit or comment), show the user the exact text you plan to post and ask for their approval. Do NOT post until they confirm.**

## Rules

- Never commit files that look like secrets (.env, credentials, tokens)
- Never force push
- Always show the user what was committed and the PR URL when done

Pushed. No open PR for branch.

- Commit: `fd4de21` — remove Slack failure notification from release workflow
- Branch: `delete-slack-boot-notifications` → `origin`
- PR: none exists

Want PR opened? Run `gh pr create` or say "open PR".

[fd4de21Remove Slack failure notification from release workflow

Failure signal already surfaced via GitHub Actions; Slack webhook adds
noise and an extra secret dependency without value.
