Something I do that helps prevent accidental changes from being included in commits is to *always* do a diff (or difftool or equivalent) before a commit (and before I write the commit message). That helps me to catch all the accidental/incidental changes and write better commit messages.

I think you need to do a rebase and push for this pipeline build to succeed (had to remove macOS-arm64 for now).

Generally I do at work, though for my Synchronet stuff, I haven't been in the habit of doing that for some reason, but I should. I use Visual Studio (in Windows) a lot at work, and its Git integration shows all the files you've changed in the repo and lets you diff them, which is convenient; I'm wondering if there's something that does similar for Linux.

I usually will install perforce perge (p4merge, it's free) as a git diff viewer in a *nix environment, so running "git difftool" will use that instead of the normal text/diff view, if you prefer a GUI diff.

If you want a full git GUI (that does more than just diff viewing), there are a lot of options: gitk, gitkraken, Github Desktop, etc. And of course, there's Visual Studio Code (vscode) which runs in Linux and has plenty of git integration.

I've used Visual Studio Code (and have it installed on my Linux BBS system); I might have a look at its Git tools. I'll look into the others (thanks for the mentions). I've actually used GitKraken in the past, which I liked (more for looking at Git history for various commits), though it would be good to have a free option too.
