# Git workflow (Neon Sprawl)

- **Documentation-only work** — Commit directly on **`main`**. This means Markdown (`.md`) under `docs/`, root and nested `README.md` files, `neon_sprawl_vision.plan.md`, and other prose docs. No feature branch required.

- **Code or implementation changes** — Use a **branch** (e.g. `feature/…`, `fix/…`), then merge to `main` when ready. This includes application source (**C#**, **GDScript**), Godot scenes and project files, `docker-compose.yml`, `.csproj` / build config, CI workflows, **JSON/YAML game data** under `content/`, and JSON Schema when it ships with data pipelines—not standalone doc prose.

When a change mixes documentation and code, treat it as a **code change** (use a branch).
