I feel the same way. I've used em-dashes in my writing forever, and I was always particular about making sure they were used properly (from a typography standpoint with no surrounding spaces). But now, I have to be so picky about when

Maybe my favorite option is missing here. `git commit -v` This will put the diff of the commit into your commit message as comments. Makes it easy to remember what you're doing/committing without having to jump back to the termina
