While some might be more rigorous about working on a commit at a time, a couple other helpful bits are:
- Cleaning up print() calls and similar debug
- It's a first-pass review of your own changes; re-read docstrings/comments, and easily go right back to them and update them etc. The diff view is different from the coding view and you gain insights, etc.
This might apply moreso to my often script-oriented coding that does 20 new things, rather than e.g. unit-test backed "formal" coding that does a few specific things.
My own workflow isn't quite at the "commit often" level of frequency, but instead I'm simultaneously crafting several related but separately-reviewable commits in one branch for one PR.
