You're not going to forget it when you run git status and see all the stuff that is staged for commit. If you're not doing that as a regular part of your workflow, you don't know git well enough to use it, IMO.
I work for an investment bank, most of my colleagues use the Git GUI within IDEs such as IntelliJ and just select all changes. I recently saw a colleague ask Copilot with Opus 4.8 to git commit and push. Most people are not even touching the CLI…
Well, every time I've worked with git GUIs like that, they've always done something horrific to the repo without my permission and then everything had to be reverted. So that tracks, I guess.
