How often am I supposed to commit and push to GitHub?

I work mostly on solo projects, so I treat my repo mostly as a backup feature, i.e., I might commit once at the end of each day, and even then in the least descriptive manner (“fixed some stuff”).

Should I be pushing every time I make one discrete update, which might be several times a day?

I feel that this may be one of those late realizations in life like when you accidentally find out you haven’t been flossing and brushing your teeth in the correct order

Isn’t there a best practice though? My hunch is that GitHub wasn’t meant to be just a cloud backup solution, and then I see people with very rich commit histories and I don’t know if they code more or just commit more often

I can't speak to a best practice in this instance, but my hunch is that any activity looks good from the outset. If you're looking for work or to impress, those green dots are virtu signalling to a certain audience that wants to see/ admires git consistency.
