This comment resonated with me. I do all my git operations with shell
scripts so I can check for all the mistakes I have made in the past and
generate errors. Even with all of that, committing is an
anxiety-producing activity because any small mistake is quickly revealed
to the world. There aren't many things I do in a day where mistakes are
so impactful.
