6.3.1. Best Practice (3/4)

Best Practices

1. Keep a healthy reference

2. Separate changes

3. Commit complete changes

Commit small but complete changes:

• Decide what changes to include in a commit (use git add -p).

• Make a commit as specific as possible, i.e., include only changes that belong together.

• Write commit messages that specify the purpose of the commit.

• Include as few changes as possible into a commit.
