Hi Git contributors,

This proposal introduces a new command git snap  designed to support
highly iterative development workflows nowdays  influenced by AI
coding assistants.

The rise of AI assistants and agentic AI workflows has changed the
pace and nature of coding. A developer might cycle through dozens of
variations of a function or component in a short period while
collaborating with an AI.

I mean, I do this too without an AI.  I frequently want to make changes
until something works, and then snapshot it and modify it to polish it
and make it more presentable.

Yep. I think of this as “locally I do whatever I want; polish before publish.”

This feature would provide a soft commit or snapshot capability,
allowing developers to save their work state frequently and create a
new commit every time as a snapshot or checkpoint without a commit
message and flag where We can provide an option for developers to
include files at the start of snap Session.

I think a lot of this is achievable with current functionality, just in
a slightly different way.

Agreed. My variant is something like

Repeat: { hack && commit -m wip --amend }

The first commit omits the amend option, of course, and I can inspect previous snapshots with the reflog.
