Level Up Your Commits with Git Add Patch
February 14, 2026
Ever find yourself finishing a feature only to realize you’ve also fixed two bugs and tweaked some styling in the same file? Instead of dumping everything into one messy commit, try using git add -p. This patch mode lets you review every single change individually. You can decide to stage it, skip it, or even split it further. It’s a game-changer for keeping your pull requests clean and your commit history readable. Your future self and your code reviewers will definitely thank you for the atomic commits!
