Good points. I occasionally use gitk to browse recent commits. A gui definitely has its place. I like using the terminal, so my workflow is to use `git add -p`

Good points. I occasionally use gitk to browse recent commits. A gui definitely has its place. I like using the terminal, so my workflow is to use `git add -p`. That makes me look at each change, in small chunks,as I stage them. As a bonus, it helps me keep commits small, or decide if there’s some logical separation in my changes that would be better expressed in two or more commits.
