I have a bad habit, even still, of just working in one monster commit.
It took me a few months to realize that I could use jj split to move specific files to a different commit. And then I'd sometimes squash them into related commits, rebase to move them around etc...
But I just discovered interactive split, which lets you move specific lines and sections from different files in a commit to a different commit. So I've been using that a lot more recently to organize the changes more thematically.
Ultimately I should try to become more diligent with adding a new commit any time I start doing something different - it's dead simple to do and even less friction to organize later - but I suppose that I'm not that inclined because the interactive split makes it so easy to do it all later that I just stay in the flow of my monster commits.
Everything is possible with jj.
just started making much more use of jj split to move split
