      <p>When you're working on a task - <a href="/daily/2024/08/31/make-it-work-then-make-it-good">whether you're making it work or making it good</a>, you can commit your code changes as often as you like.</p>

      <p>You should definitely commit your changes every time you have a working iteration, even if it's not the complete or final version, or even if the code doesn't pass all the coding standards and static analysis checks.</p>

      <p>Things can be fixed or improved in subsequent commits.</p>

      <p>You can amend or squash commits locally so your clean-up and work-in-progress commits are removed before you push your final version to your remote repository.</p>

      <p>Whilst test-driven development says you should work in small feedback loops and steps, you don't need to push every commit as you wrote them.</p>

      <p>Until you run <code>git push</code>, your commits are yours and yours only.</p>

      <p>You have the opportunity to tidy up and organise your changes - making your commits easier to review and more likely to be approved in a code review.</p>
