I'll go one further: use git rebase --interactive

[–] natecox@programming.dev 0 points 7 months ago

I remember learning about how to use this back in the day and what a game changer it was for my workflow.

Today I like to do all of the commits as I’m working. Maybe dozens or more as I chug along, marking off waypoints rather than logging actual changes. When I’m done a quick interactive rebase cleans up the history to meaningful commits quite nicely.

The fun part is that I will work with people sometimes who both swear that “rewriting history” is evil and should never be done, but also tell me how useful my commit logs are and want to know how I take such good notes as I go.
