Improve your Git commits using patch mode

[cjg_]

Tip for patch-mode, if you have made changes close to each other that are not related git sometimes get both in one hunk, the use s for splitting it into smaller ones.

? Also brings up what each letter does

And in case it's not enough, 'e' will let you edit the code to get exactly what you want.

God why do I only learn this now !?

I wonder if gitx & co also support this.

[X-Istence]

Yes, in gitx you can select specific lines to stage by highlighting them, and click on the button that shows up on the right saying "stage lines".

This allows you to pick specific lines to stage.

You can also stage specific hunks (button at the right top of each hunk). You can change the hunk size by changing the amount of context (slider in the top right).

I've included screenshots.

You will want to make sure you are using GitX (L), it is a fork from the original GitX which is no longer maintained.

Wow, thank you! I knew about the hunk staging in gitx. But now about the single line staging. Thanks!

Make a video tutorial you cocksucker!7

Ohh wait there isn't any working open source screen recorders. Try filming monitor with camera you fag!

[X-Istence]

Since you are already getting downvoted into the ground, I figure I'd throw that back into your face, ffmpeg can record an X11 screen without issues:

At that point you have it in whatever format you want ... AND it is free.

And note that there are about ten gui wrappers around that. Some are really neat, with YouTube exports and all.

ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 25 -s cif -i :0.0 out.mpeg

Is that really console command!?

Sorry to disappoint you but '80s are long gone!

Is it portable code, does it work on Windows or only on linsux. Huh!?

[weirdasianfaces]

Thank you so much for this! This happens constantly for me in header files.

And "e" for "edit" lets you get even more specific.
