On: A Git Horror Story: Repository Integrity With Signed Commits

[lmm]

You're supposed to sign a tag because you've reviewed that tag, not just at random. A commit is much less meaningful - do you always check the diff before you commit?

Do people not check the diff before they commit?

[berdario → lmm]

I almost always check the diff before committing (I use git diff --cached more often than plain git diff)

[lilyball → berdario]

`git config alias.staged 'diff --cached'` was the first alias I ever created.

Even for one-line changes I compulsively check `git staged` before committing.
