Another common Git issue I see is people using git add .<\/code> to commit every change in every file they have locally.<\/p>\n\n

Similar to committing with -m<\/code><\/a>, this seems to be a common in Git tutorials, but can have consequences due to unexpected changes being staged and committed.<\/p>\n\n

Maybe there are unrelated changes in the same file or other files have been changed that you don't want to commit yet.<\/p>\n\n

What if something was committed and pushed that caused the CI pipeline to fail or break production?<\/p>\n\n

At the least, it's going to add time and delay getting the intended changes live as someone will need to revert and fix the commits or address the changes in a code review.<\/p>\n\n

I'm very selective about what I include in each commit to keep my code stable and the commits easy to review and, if needed, revert.<\/p>\n\n

I always use git add -p<\/code> to interactively stage changes from the command line or use keybindings in my Neovim configuration to add particular lines.<\/p>\n\n

I'll also review my staged changes before committing and the commit once it's been made using git log --stat<\/code> to see what's included.<\/p>\n\n

Only once I'm sure my commits include only what I intended will I push them or submit them for review.<\/p>\n\n ", "format": "full_html", "processed": "\n
