The Change
Commit changes before they are “good.” Commit the first thing that is a tiny bit better and no worse than what was there before.
The Value Proposition
Committing early and often provides the following value:
- Accomplish the same result with less mental effort.
 - Reduce ratholing.
 
Ensuring each commit is no worse provides the following value:
- Improve the code on multiple quality dimensions over time without backsliding.
 - Bias towards action.
 - Get easy permission to refactor.
