|
<p>When working with source control tools, keep one change per commit. Avoid |
|
bundling more than one change in a single commit just to "save time".</p> |
|
<span id="continue-reading"></span> |
|
<p>I've seen my fair share of commits with messages like "Fix issues #1, #2 |
|
and #3". This is not something you should do. One commit for fixing issue #1, |
|
another for #2 and yet another for #3.</p> |
|
<p>Just note that I said "one commit per change", not "one commit per file". |
|
Sometimes, to make a single change, you may need to change more than one file |
|
-- it may point that you have a coupling problem, but that's a different |
|
issue. You could, for example, make one commit which adds a new field in model |
|
without adding a change in the controller to load this field; after all, the |
|
controller won't (or, at least, shouldn't) break due the added field, and the |
|
model won't break (or, at least, shouldn't) break because the controller is |
|
not touching the field<sup class="footnote-reference"><a href="#1">1</a></sup>.</p> |
|
<p>When making a commit, think this: "In case something goes wrong, can I undo |
|
this commit without breaking other stuff?" Commit history is stacked, so |
|
obviously you'd have to undo the commits on top of that one. And that's |
|
alright.</p> |
|
<p><strong>BONUS TIP</strong>! If you're using <code>git</code>, you can use <code>git add -p</code> in case you |
|
"overchange". It will allow you to pick parts of a file, instead of adding all |
|
the changes in the file before committing.</p> |
|
<div class="footnote-definition" id="1"><sup class="footnote-definition-label">1</sup> |
|
<p>Ok, it <em>may</em> have some issues if the field can't be null, but you get |
|
what I meant, right?</p> |
