Optimizing Git for AI Workflows

The introduction of AI in coding has disrupted traditional Git workflows, leading to issues like lost uncommitted work, cluttered branches, and anxiety over stashing. To address this, the concept of a "Mirror Branch" is proposed—a personal workspace for developers to freely commit messy outputs, logs, and drafts without the pressure of maintaining a clean history. This method allows for exploration and experimentation while keeping the feature branch uncluttered. By separating the messy process from clean code promotion, developers can maintain context and memory of their problem-solving journey, thus enhancing productivity and reducing mental overhead without losing valuable insights along the way.

this powerful: you can script it. You know which parts change (text, images), so you swap those values and get brand-consistent output every time.

Now, this isn't replacing Photoshop. But if you're a developer who knows web tech, it's a flexible way to generate visuals that actually match your brand.
