Daily Software Tips & Tricks

We've all been there: you've spent an hour coding and realized you fixed three different bugs in five different files. Instead of dumping everything into one messy commit, use 'git add -p'. This 'patch' mode walks you through every single change hunk by hunk.

You can choose to stage a specific change, skip it, or even split a hunk into smaller pieces if you've modified two different things close together. It makes your git history much cleaner and forces you to do one last code review before you hit that commit button.
