Daily Software Tips & Tricks

If you've spent an hour coding and realized you've fixed three different bugs in one go, don't just dump them into a single commit. Use `git add -p` (patch mode) to review your changes hunk by hunk. This lets you selectively stage only certain parts of a file, making your commit history much cleaner and easier for your teammates to review.

It’s also a great final sanity check. As you step through each change, you'll often catch a stray debug statement or a temporary hack that you forgot to remove. It turns your staging process into a mini-code review for yourself.
