If you break up your work into discrete tasks (or user stories) it makes committing code a much more logical procedure. Plan a task, create a new branch for the task, commit logical chunks (or your own choosing) until the task is complete and then create a PR to be reviewed a before merging branch into master or if not on a team just merge yourself.

If you are new to planning your own work, using something like Trello will help you to break up your work. The smaller the chunk of functionality the better from my experience because it keeps you focussed on documenting your commits and gives you a continuous sense of achievement.
