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 (âfixed some stuffâ). 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 havenât been flossing and brushing your teeth in the correct order

Lots of benefits to committing atomically and as often as possible â easier to migrate features to other branches by cherry-picking or rebasing, easier to rollback or revert specific features out of order, easier to track down where a bug might have been introduced. More work upfront but well worth it in my opinion.

That makes sense. I need to make it a habit because right now itâs more of an afterthought at the end of a coding session. Do you use the CLI or GitHub desktop?

I use the CLI and the Source Control panel and visual rebase editor built into Cursor / VSCode. "Git: Stage Selected Ranges" is probably my most frequent Cmd+Shift+P command. I also have GitKraken open on the side to browse branches and stashes.
