Commit only part of a file in Git

Question

When I make changes to a file in Git, how can I commit only some of the changes?

For example, how could I commit only 15 lines out of 30 lines that have been changed

Answer 1

vim-gitgutter plugin can stage hunks without leaving vim editor using

:GitGutterStageHunk

Beside this, it provides other cool features like a diff sign column as in some modern IDEs

If only part of hunk should be staged vim-fugitive

:Gdiff

allows visual range selection then :'<,'>diffput or :'<,'>diffget to stage/revert individual line changes.
