alt Hacker NewsWhen I really want to do your workflow, here is what I do. Add all the debugging print statements and commit them separately in another branch. When I want to include the debug statements, I just cherry-pick the commit with those things.
This way I remove the overhead of doing a staging before every damn commit and still retain the ability to pull in debugging changes whenever I want them.

Not everything need to be cross platform! And not everything need CI..
This sounds more complicated overall. Also, I would still need the staging area to only commit the debug statements.
As I said, I like to work on several things in parallel and I don't want to switch branches back and forth. That's just my workflow for my own projects and apparently I'm not alone.
