Cursor Git Commit

Overview

Use a consistent commit workflow: inspect changes, stage intentionally, and avoid committing noise.

Checklist (run before committing)

  1. Inspect status: git status --porcelain
  2. Review diffs:
    • unstaged: git diff --stat
    • staged: git diff --cached --stat
  3. Stage intentionally: git add path/to/file ...
  4. Verify staged set: git diff --cached --name-only
  5. Commit and record hash:
    • git commit -m "..." then git rev-parse HEAD

Fix common mistakes

  • Unstage one file: git reset HEAD path/to/file
  • Unstage everything: git reset HEAD
  • Remove noise already committed (keep on disk): git rm --cached path/to/noise then add to .gitignore and git commit --amend --no-edit
