git diff --stagedUse git add -p for selective staging:
# Stage changes interactively
git add -p
# Review what's staged
git diff --staged
# Commit with message
git commit -m "type(scope): description"
Fix the last commit message:
# Amend commit message only
git commit --amend
# Amend and add more changes
git add forgotten-file.js
git commit --amend --no-edit
Creating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
