# Usage notes

This repo is meant to stay lightweight.

## Basic usage idea

When working in a GitHub repo:
1. inspect branch / status / tags / releases if needed
2. assume PR-first if repo rules are unclear
3. avoid release work until the relevant changes are merged

## Mental checklist

Before pushing:
- Am I on `main`?
- Does this repo allow direct push to `main`?
- If I do not know, why am I not using a branch + PR?

Before changing a release:
- Are the intended changes already merged?
- Does `package.json` version match the intended release?
- Are git tags and GitHub releases in sync?

## Core rule

If uncertain, do the safer thing:
- branch
- PR
- merge
- release
