Answer 1

You don't have to force yourself to remember differences between them. Think of how you actually made a commit.

1. Make some changes.

2. git add .

3. git commit -m "I did Something"

Soft, Mixed and Hard is the way enabling you to give up the operations you did from 3 to 1.

• Soft "pretended" to never see you have did git commit.
• Mixed "pretended" to never see you have did git add .
• Hard "pretended" to never see you have made file changes.
