I used to hate leaving Vim for Git’s interactive staging mode or some separate GUI to pick apart a hairy set of changes. As a result I usually tried to avoid these messy situations.

Then I discovered Vim fugitive. It allows to go through the diff and stage chunks so intuitively, it changed the way I work. Just j/k to move around, = to expand file, s to stage selection, c to commit. The process of reviewing changes became very natural and actually enjoyable. I like the feeling of control it gives and how it makes focused commits painless while not disrupting the flow.

And if you use magit for Emacs, it's also extremely easy to stage hunks selectively and easily: s to stage, cc to commit staged, ca to amend with staged, etc. This is the way: don't use the git CLI. Use your editor.

Frankly, it’s so good I use emacs just for git even when coding in other editors.
