docs: rewrite Copilot instructions and align contributor guides with the current layout - #198
Conversation
…the current layout .github/copilot-instructions.md predated the lib/ modularization: it described bin/gtr as a 961-line monolith with a case block at fixed line numbers, an `open` command, cmd_* functions inside bin/gtr, six lib files, and GTR_VERSION on line 8. Rewritten as a condensed guide that matches bin/git-gtr, lib/*.sh, lib/commands/*.sh, the adapter registry, the BATS suite, and the CI gates. The per-pattern instruction files and CONTRIBUTING.md carried the same drift plus one larger error: they told contributors to hand-edit the three completion files, which are generated by scripts/generate-completions.sh and rejected by CI when they differ. - completions.instructions.md: rewritten around the generator; applyTo now covers scripts/generate-completions.sh and the real fish filename - testing.instructions.md: add the BATS/ShellCheck/completions gates, drop "all manual", open -> editor, source nano.sh (cursor.sh does not exist under adapters/editor), add pr/clean/trust smoke lines, GTR_DEBUG - lib.instructions.md: replace a stale core.sh line reference with get_current_branch(), add .gtrconfig and trust gating to the cfg_default precedence, open -> editor - sh.instructions.md: set -e lives in bin/git-gtr, add GTR_DEBUG, note gh/glab as optional deps - editor/ai.instructions.md, CONTRIBUTING.md: regenerate completions instead of editing three files; name the _help_* functions - CHANGELOG: record under Unreleased

CONTRIBUTING.md's two adapter "Also update" entries now list the docs/configuration.md editor list and AI tool table, matching the editor/ai instruction files. Also correct those files and the Copilot guide to say "list" for editors, since docs/configuration.md presents editors as a bullet list and only AI tools as a table.
The review of #197 established that run_hooks_in does not handle postCd. This PR added the same incorrect claim: run_hooks evaluates each hook in a subshell and serves postRemove, run_hooks_in adds a cd for postCreate and preRemove, and postCd goes through run_hooks_export or the eval loop inside the init-generated shell functions.

The review read "its callers wrap it in one" as contradicting the purpose of run_hooks_export. Both call sites do use a subshell, as lib/hooks.sh itself instructs, so the wording now names them and says what the subshell is for: the exports reach the editor or AI tool started in the same block without leaking into the main script.
Checked every added assertion against the code at 57ff3be: - GTR_DEBUG does not report file:line:function. bin/git-gtr installs an ERR trap but sets `set -e` without `set -E`, so the trap is not inherited by functions and never fires for failures inside cmd_* handlers. Verified with a minimal repro (silent under `set -e`, fires under `set -eE`) and against the real binary. Stated in three files; all now describe the limitation and point to `bash -x`. - postCd hooks reach the AI tool only. Both run_hooks_export call sites are AI paths; _auto_launch_editor, _open_editor and cmd_editor run no hooks. - `git gtr completion zsh` does not print the generated file. Only the bash and fish branches cat it; zsh emits a zstyle + fpath + compinit snippet. - `version` has no cmd_version; main() answers it inline. Also widen sh.instructions.md's applyTo to cover bin/git-gtr and bin/gtr, which it describes but did not match, and correct the `cd` dispatch wording.
Picks up the set -eE fix from #199. The Copilot guide, shell conventions and testing matrix now describe GTR_DEBUG as working, including inside the subshell cmd_run uses, rather than documenting it as inert. The changelog also distinguishes the two postCd dispatch paths instead of attributing them to the AI path alone.
* Detect and recover locked worktree entries with missing directories (coderabbitai#182) git worktree prune skips locked entries by design, so a locked worktree whose directory was deleted (e.g. a crashed agent session) lingers in the registry and keeps its branch checked out. clean now detects this, offers to unlock and prune (auto-confirmed by --force/--yes, previewed by --dry-run), and prints the manual recovery command when declined. * feat(clean): support closed PR cleanup (coderabbitai#183) * feat(clean): support closed PR cleanup Assisted-by: pi:gpt-5.5 Co-authored-by: chatgpt-codex-connector[bot] <199175422+chatgpt-codex-connector[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> * fix(clean): address closed cleanup review nits Assisted-by: pi:gpt-5.5 Co-authored-by: chatgpt-codex-connector[bot] <199175422+chatgpt-codex-connector[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> * fix(clean): match GitLab head_sha fallback Assisted-by: pi:gpt-5.5 Co-authored-by: chatgpt-codex-connector[bot] <199175422+chatgpt-codex-connector[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> --------- Co-authored-by: chatgpt-codex-connector[bot] <199175422+chatgpt-codex-connector[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> * Release v2.8.0 * Replace Homebrew bump action with direct formula update (coderabbitai#184) * Replace Homebrew bump action with direct formula update * Allow manual formula bump via workflow_dispatch * Return non-zero when git gtr rm fails (coderabbitai#190) * Fix rm exit status on removal failures * Test public rm failure status * chore: prepare v2.8.1 release * fix(copy): bound includeDirs discovery (coderabbitai#191) * fix(copy): bound includeDirs discovery * test(copy): allow filesystem result order * fix(copy): preserve basename fallback * chore: prepare v2.8.2 release * feat: inherit sparse-checkout in new worktrees (coderabbitai#186) * feat: inherit sparse-checkout in new worktrees When creating a new worktree from one with sparse-checkout enabled, the new worktree inherits the cone pattern automatically.

Also links the contributor list, since much of the adapter, platform and shell-integration surface came from outside contributions. * fix: make GTR_DEBUG actually report the failing location (coderabbitai#199) bin/git-gtr installed an ERR trap when GTR_DEBUG was set but ran under 'set -e' alone. An ERR trap is inherited by functions, command substitutions and subshells only under 'set -E', and every command runs inside main() and a cmd_* handler, so the trap never fired. Switch the option line to 'set -eE'. With no ERR trap installed the option has no effect, so the default path is unchanged. Adds tests/debug_trap.bats covering the function and subshell contexts, plus silence on success, on a handled error path, and when GTR_DEBUG is unset. * docs: refresh agent guides, README flags, and troubleshooting for v2.11 (coderabbitai#197) Brings AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, README and the docs/ pages in line with what shipped in v2.9 through v2.11. Fixes two errors: AGENTS.md pointed at a nonexistent adapters/ai/Codex.sh, and docs/troubleshooting.md told users to run 'bash -x git gtr', which cannot work because git is a binary. The architecture diagram there also had bin/git-gtr and bin/gtr the wrong way round. Adds --sparse/--no-sparse to the README, the missing GTR_* fallback variables and the direct-read variables to docs/configuration.md, and a side-effect section to docs/agent-usage.md. AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md now cover pr, trust, clean --closed, sparse inheritance, postCd dispatch and the current test layout. * docs: rewrite Copilot instructions and align contributor guides with the current layout (coderabbitai#198) The Copilot instructions predated the lib/ modularization: they described bin/gtr as a 961-line monolith with an 'open' command, cmd_* functions inside bin/gtr, six lib files, and GTR_VERSION on line 8. Rewritten as a condensed guide matching bin/git-gtr, the ten lib modules plus 18 command files, the adapter registry, pr/trust/cd handling, the --porcelain contract and the CI gates. The per-pattern instruction files and CONTRIBUTING.md told contributors to hand-edit the three completion files, which are generated by scripts/generate-completions.sh and verified by CI. Every such place now says to edit the source and regenerate. Also corrects four claims an independent verification pass disproved: the GTR_DEBUG behavior, the postCd dispatch paths, what 'git gtr completion zsh' prints, and the cmd_<command> dispatch rule. * chore: prepare v2.11.1 release * fix(tests): canonicalize the temp repo path in the integration helper (coderabbitai#200) setup_integration_repo took its path straight from mktemp -d, which on macOS returns /var/folders/... while /var is a symlink to /private/var. git canonicalizes when it registers a worktree, so the preRemove hook received the /private/var spelling and 'cmd_clean --merged uses nested registered worktree path' compared it against the /var one. This is the test's expectation being wrong rather than a product bug: passing a /var path to 'git worktree add' makes git itself register the resolved one. Resolving the path once in the helper fixes it for every integration test. Linux is unaffected, since mktemp -d returns /tmp with no symlink, which is why CI stayed green. Local suite now passes 561/561, previously 560/561. * chore: normalize Windows shell execution for TigerEye (cherry picked from commit 26ceb92) * fix: make trust hashing portable and fail closed (#3) Bead: TE-7sebjb (cherry picked from commit 11a06a8) --------- Co-authored-by: Tom Elizaga <tom.elizaga@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: scarf <greenscarf005@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: chatgpt-codex-connector[bot] <199175422+chatgpt-codex-connector[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Adam Wettreich <80975389+adamwett@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: BashNetCorp <your.email@example.com>
Summary
Docs-only follow-up to #197.
.github/copilot-instructions.mdhad not been touched since before thelib/modularization (#119) and described a repository that no longer exists. While fixing it, the six.github/instructions/*.instructions.mdfiles andCONTRIBUTING.mdturned out to share one larger error: they tell contributors to hand-edit the three completion files, which are generated.Copilot instructions (rewritten)
