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

This feature would provide a soft commit or snapshot capability, allowing developers to save their work state frequently and create new commit every time as snapshot or checkpoint without commit message and flag where We can provide a option developers to include files at start of snap Session.
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.
The current Git workflow presents friction in this types of workflow.

Please check the attached document for further reference. Thank you for your time. Let me know if you need any further information.

Thanks, Suraj Bhadrike.
