Show HN: `Git add -p` with multiple buckets

Is the main use case being splitting large uncommitted change set into logical units in _one pass_ rather than few iterations of `git add -p && git commit`?

That would be helpful for me. Sometimes I forget which pass I'm on and have to redo the commit.

I don't do this often, but when I watched the demo that was the only use case that came to mind.

Perhaps the author had different motivation to start it, which is why I posted this question — the demo explain what the program does but provide little context other than extracting actual patches, and then again, it begs the question of 'why'.

That's exactly the use case.

Cool, I thought there might be some other flow I was not aware of, thanks for clarifying that!

The demo recording is good and I think it would be even better to state the motivation/use case explicitly in the README.
