How to "granularize" commits and pulls/merges to individual files?

[proofer]

Not too knowledgeable about git. Lazygit (& git?) seems oriented to batching of files. But I like to have one commit message per file. Similarly when pulling from a remote I like to separately evaluate each file's merge. What's my suggested Lazygit workflow where there are 2+ files involved?

The same workflow as you would have with git, you can either stage and commit one file per commit, or write commit messages with multiple lines.

As for pulling from a remote, you'll have only one merge commit (by default), you can't really split that up. You could pull without a merge commit and then manually commit that as usual if you really want to.

But look into git rebase, that might suit you better.
