If you get a lot of value out of the pull request view, you might enjoy adding partial committing to your workflow. Rather than committing entire directories or folders at a time, you can page chunk by chunk through uncommitted changes, committing only the ones you select. You'll easily spot those stray logging statements you don't want to commit. (You can also discard chunk at a time by using partial checkout/restore.) If you have, for example, two pairs of backend/frontend changes that you want to commit logically rather than simply according to their directory structure, partial committing is handy.

It's just `git commit -p` (and `git checkout -p`). It's not exactly a deep cut, but I encourage people who are familiar but don't use it to give it a try.
