I find the jetbrains IDEs (like Webstorm) has the best UI interface for this. Selectively commit specific lines from your changes.

Another excellent GUI is gitg. You can select specific lines for staging, but also for discarding. The latter is especially useful for temporary debug only changes that you want to throw away.

For VSCode-based editors I am a happy user of the "Stage selected ranges" command
