# GROWL — Genesis Radio Commit Style Guide
---
## 🛡️ Purpose
To keep our Git commit history **clean, calm, and clear** —
even during chaos, downtime, or tired late-night edits.
Every commit should **GROWL**:
| Letter | Meaning |
|:---|:---|
| **G** | Good |
| **R** | Readable |
| **O** | Obvious |
| **W** | Well-Scoped |
| **L** | Logical |
---
## 🧠 GROWL Principles
### **G — Good**
Write clear, helpful commit messages.
Imagine your future self — tired, panicked — trying to understand what you did.
**Bad:**
`update`
**Good:**
`Fix retry logic for mount guardian script`
---
### **R — Readable**
Use short, plain English sentences.
No cryptic shorthand. No weird abbreviations.
**Bad:**
`fx psh scrpt`
**Good:**
`Fix powershell script argument passing error`
---
### **O — Obvious**
The commit message should explain what changed without needing a diff.
**Bad:**
`misc`
**Good:**
`Add dark mode CSS to healthcheck dashboard`
---
### **W — Well-Scoped**
One logical change per commit.
Don't fix five things at once unless they're tightly related.
**Bad:**
`fix mount issues, added healthcheck, tweaked retry`
**Good:**
`Fix asset mount detection timing issue`
(And then a separate commit for healthcheck tweaks.)
---
### **L — Logical**
Commits should build logically.
Each one should bring the repo to a **better, deployable state** — not leave it broken.
**Bad:**
Commit partial broken code just because "I need to leave soon."
**Good:**
Finish a working block, then commit.
---
## 📋 Quick GROWL Checklist Before You Push:
- [ ] Is my message clear to a stranger?
- [ ] Did I only change one logical thing?
- [ ] Can I tell from the commit what changed, without a diff?
- [ ] Would sleepy me at 3AM thank me for writing this?
---
## 🎙️ Why We GROWL
Because panic, fatigue, or adrenaline can't be avoided —
but **good habits under pressure can save a system** (and a future you) every time.
Stay calm.
Make it obvious.
Let it GROWL.
