This is me all the time.

Oh wait… What did I change?

  ^Z
  git diff --cached

Oh yeah.

  fg

You should be using `git commit -v` then; it will include the full diff of your changes, so you can quickly check them while writing your commit message.

Yeah this is what I use, the only issue being extraordinarily large commits may get bogged down some times.

I have no idea why anyone would ever not use this to be honest.

That workflow seems really slow when dealing with multiple repos/subrepos actively compared to what UI frontends offer.

But it's still more efficient method for single repository project where using UI git client would be the overkill.
