Ever struggled to track down when a bug first appeared? Or felt overwhelmed by a massive commit with so many changes that it’s nearly impossible to see where things went wrong? While life can feel this way, your research software doesn’t have to. Atomic commits – commits that capture just one logical change – are a simple yet powerful way to bring clarity to your work.
In this talk, you’ll learn how to break changes into focused commits and why pairing them with a test suite makes Git a far more powerful tool. More importantly, you’ll learn how this practice sharpens your problem-solving by forcing you to break complex research problems into smaller, testable pieces. By the end, you’ll see how a simple shift in how you commit can transform the way you work.
