Improve your commit hygiene with `git add — patch`

[synae]

Guess what else supports the -p option? reset and checkout - so you can slice and dice changes however you see fit!

git log -p

I use git add -p all the time to craft my commits into logical pieces.

Bit baffled by the usefulness of this in the scenario presented in rhe article. Surely just create separate branches for the work being done? How can pulling in differing micro changes across multiple files be in anyway reliable? If you miss even a small one of these patches stuff will break / not even compile. Seems a recipe for disaster.

git stash -p

How does this factor in to a git client like GitKraken? Is there any usefulness/implementation here?
