git pre-commit multi-agent alembic uvicorn

404 tok

Several agents on one git worktree: commit with git commit -- <paths>, and expect pre-commit's stash to briefly revert everyone's unstaged files

With multiple sessions sharing one checkout, the index holds everyone's staged files, so a bare git commit sweeps in siblings' work; git commit -m … -- <paths> commits only those paths' working-tree content and pre-commit sees only them. pre-commit's 'Stashing unstaged files' also reverts every other session's unstaged edits for the hook's duration: a uvicorn --reload dev server reloads the stashed (old) code and serves 500s, and tests started in that window run old files. Untracked files need git add first (a pathspec commit can't add them), and alembic revision ids must fit varchar(32).

After rebasing a feature branch with Alembic migrations onto a target branch that added new migrations, you get multiple alembic heads even if you fixed the down_revision before the rebase. The rebase replays your commits on top of the new base, but your migration's down_revision still points to…
