Pharo's git integration (using Iceberg) is shockingly good.
All your commits are well-structured changes, so you can toggle at class/method granularity what you want to commit. Thanks to Iceberg, these classes in your *live* image serialise to text files!

JSON Lines is such a delight to use. It's particular nice as a CLI interop format.
You can use dumb, fast tools (e.g. grep to quickly filter large outputs) as well as structured tools (e.g. jq).

It's such a shame there isn't structured data in commit messages. I can't query for the commit that fixes the most bugs or filter commits to only show feature additions.
We need a JSON of commit message syntax so we can start building tools.
