Situation: Unwanted file modifications
Recently, after merging a branch, my Pull Request unexpectedly showed numerous file changes that had minor auto-modifications (e.g., “Hello” to 'Hello') due to an active Git hook. These changes weren't part of my task, leading to a noisy and unclear PR.
Task: Isolate & Maintain Focus
Needed to:
- Revert unrelated changes
- Keep the PR diff focused on the current task I was working on
Actions: Step-by-step approach
Results: Clean PR
- Restored the affected files to their original state
- My PR was clean and contained only the relevant task changes
