GitHub guidelines
Atomic Approach
•Commit each fix or task as a separate change
•Only commit when a block of work is complete
•Commit each layout change separately
•Joint commit for layout file, code behind file, and additional resources
Benefits
•Easy to roll back without affecting other changes
•Easy to make other changes on the fly
•Easy to merge features to other branches
