Version Control Hygiene

Practising good version control hygiene could improve the process of debugging and backtracing. Practise it alongside with git blame.

Follow the rules below:

  • Keep changes small and localised.
  • Fix commits must not mix with other unrelated things such as new feature implementation.
  • One fix commit for exactly one fix on one bug.
  • A fix commit must include its updated test assets.
  • The fix commits should be clear and concise (more elaborate)
