Working at file granularity is fine, but I've never gotten a good workflow for using the CLI to stage individual hunks. Nothing beats selecting the lines I care about in magit (or any other GUI) and clicking to stage.

git add --interactive <file>, then mark the file as staged and select the patch option if memory serves. It's not complex once you get the hang of it. The only problem I run into is not being able to split chunks further. I do agree a GUI lowers the barrier to entry.

  Use git add -p <file> And you'll go straight to the patch option. Then you can split the chunks further, and for hunks that can't be split further, you can edit them and add/remove lines from the hunk as needed.

    Thanks, didn't know about that shorthand!
