Minor thing about git 💾

=> Hedy wrote about jujutsu v git

I know one thing about git that surprises some people: you don't have to use the staging area.

git commit -m "blah blah" fileA fileB

That commits files A an B without putting them in the staging area, and anything in the staging area stays there.

OK, while we're here, some other things about git:

• Everyone uses version control differently. There is no normal workflow.
• Git is a simple concept but git commands are a labyrinth of Byzantine complexity. Fortunately you only need to know a few commands for git to be useable.

These two things make it hard to make a better version control. It won't fit most people's workflow, and anything you want it to do is already do-able somewhere in the labyrinth.
