Commit part of a file in git:

You can use git add --patch <filename> (or -p for short), and git will begin to break down your file into what it thinks are sensible hunks (portions of the file). It will then prompt you with this question:

Stage this hunk [y,n,q,a,d,/,j,J,g,s,e,?]?

Here is a description of each option:
y stage this hunk for the next commit
n do not stage this hunk for the next commit
q quit; do not stage this hunk or any of the remaining hunks
a stage this hunk and all later hunks in the file
d do not stage this hunk or any of the later hunks in the file
g select a hunk to go to
/ search for a hunk matching the given regex
j leave this hunk undecided, see next undecided hunk
J leave this hunk undecided, see next hunk
k leave this hunk undecided, see previous undecided hunk
K leave this hunk undecided, see previous hunk
s split the current hunk into smaller hunks
e manually edit the current hunk
