Split Out Unrelated Changes

Read Original

This article advises software developers to split unrelated changes into separate pull requests. It argues that smaller, focused PRs are faster to review, reduce risk, and keep Git history clean. It recommends one PR per task (like a GitHub issue) and separating logical code changes from purely stylistic ones to streamline the review process and work better with automated changelog systems.
