Work In Progress (WIP) commits

Twigg supports marking commits as Work In Progress (WIP) directly through the commit title.

A commit is considered WIP when its title starts with:

WIP

(case-insensitive), as long as it is not immediately followed by a letter or number.

Examples:​

These commits titles mark a commit as WIP:

WIP
wip
WIP add validation
wip: refactor commit logic
wip - temporary workaround

These commits titles do NOT mark commit as WIP:

wip1
wipFix
wiper
fix wip issue

How WIP affects the workflow​

WIP commits behave like a normal pending commits, but with one important difference:

  • WIP commits cannot be submitted.
  • UI display WIP tag.
  • You must remove WIP to submit the commit.

This prevents accidentally submitting unfinished work while still allowing you to:

  • Stack more commits on top.
  • Push the commit.
  • Ask for early feedback.

Removing WIP status​

To remove the WIP status, simply edit the commit title and remove 'WIP' prefix:

tw amend "New commit title"
tw push

Once the commit title no longer starts with 'WIP', the commit can be submitted normally.
