geordi-no git add

geordi-yes git add -p

Otherwise, I would be staging the whole file without looking at what I'm staging first

How do you run unit tests for commits if you're only adding bits of the file?

[-] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 2 points 6 months ago

You can do git stash -k before running tests.

You're never actually "adding" the whole file unless it's a brand-new file, git add my-file just adds every patch change for that file without confirmation.

Using git add -p my-file, the same hooks will run as if you staged and committed all changes to my-file.

‘git checkout -‘ to toggle between branches ‘git checkout -b branch_name’ to create and switch to a new branch.

I use git commit --amend --no-edit often.

Like if I forget to run a formatter before I commit and the build complains just for that.

git add -u
git commit --amend --no-edit
git push -f
