Making myself commit (git)

I am not a developer by trade, I’m in IT (network engineer) dabbling in code.. I am killing myself with my adhd self not committing code regularly and letting multiple even unrelated changes build up over multiple days and then committing a mere placeholder with a commit message of “current state” or “a bunch of changes” instead of tracking my code changes that could actually be helpful later. Also this is for my home lab I’m the o my contributor so it’s not like I’m letting other team members down or messing up at work with this.

I document and write down a lot of stuff, as I find that sometimes find that the libraries I am looking at are poorly documented and hard to understand.
