Git and GitHub Best Practices for Distributed Teams

Code is the Single Source of Truth

In distributed developer teams, code reviews happen asynchronously. High-quality PR descriptions and clean git histories prevent code blocks and misunderstandings. We review typical patterns on GitHub.

PR Best Practices

  • **Write exhaustive summaries**: Explain *why* the change was made, not just *what* changed.
  • **Embed screenshots/videos**: Show the visual layout changes before/after to save reviewers testing time.
  • **Limit PR size**: Keep changes under 300 lines of code to ensure quick, focused reviews.
