# Git Commit Instructions

To ensure high-quality and consistent commits, please follow these guidelines:

1. **Format your code**
    - Run the `csharpier` formatter on all C# files before committing.
    - Ensure your code adheres to the `.editorconfig` settings.

2. **Write clear commit messages**
    - Use the present tense ("Add feature" not "Added feature").
    - Start with a short summary (max 72 characters), followed by a blank line and a detailed description if necessary.

3. **Test your changes**
    - Run all unit tests before committing.
    - Add or update xUnit tests as needed.
    - Use FluentAssertions for assertions and Moq for mocking in tests.

4. **Review your changes**
    - Double-check for accidental debug code or commented-out code.
    - Ensure only relevant files are staged.

Thank you for helping maintain code quality!
