TLDR; workflow with --allow-empty
Think of 1 commit for an original pull request
#1 engage your changes before you actually want to commit
git commit --allow-empty
#2.1 engage changes with care
git commit --allow-empty -av --amend
#2.2 engage changes with determination
git add ${filenames}
git commit --allow-empty --amend
#3 you can always (squash, edit, rebase and more)
git rebase -i ${FETCH_HEAD_or_other_commit}
#4 push your changes
git push ${origin} ${branch}
