Sometimes I have staged changes in a file that I want to split or omit the changes in several commits for the sake of readability, maintenance and history cosmetic. There are two useful commands:
Staging and staging files:
git add -i
If what I want is to manage the staging within only one file, then I use:
git add -p (--patch)#vim /etc/udev/rules.d/99-lowbat.rules
# Suspend the system when battery level drops to 5% or lower
SUBSYSTEM=="power_supply", ATTR{status}=="Discharging", ATTR{capacity}=="[0-5]", RUN+="/usr/bin/systemctl hibernate"
Quite useful to check what was pushed to the repo during the last days
