Daily Software Tips & Tricks

We’ve all been there: you’ve spent an hour coding and realized you’ve finished two different tasks but haven't committed either. Instead of committing everything in one messy glob, use 'git add -p'. This "patch" mode lets you review each change hunk-by-hunk and decide whether to stage it or not.

It’s the best way to keep your commit history clean, readable, and focused on one logical change at a time. It also serves as a final mini-code-review for yourself, helping you catch stray console logs or debug comments before they ever hit the repository.
