Partial git commit from eclipse (egit)

Question

Say I have a file with 2 changes. How do I use egit to commit only one of them?

The command line version can be found in this question.

Answer 1

You can also follow "Git Partial Staging in Eclipse"

From the staging view, double-click on the file. A compare dialog will appear.

• On the left are your current changes;
• on the right is the currently staged work.

You can now copy changes from the left to the right, effectively staging parts of your file. In this case I will stage the correction to the method name.
