How do I commit a few specific line ranges from a file to git? while ignoring some other line changes in the same file.

Try git add -p -- it will interactively let you add, skip, or split diff hunks.

When I do this, git chooses what constitutes a hunk of change. For instance, I changed a file in three places, but it only gives me two chunks as options to commit: one containing the first two changes, and one for the third change. Is there a way to specify actual line numbers, as the OP asked?

git add -p lets you break up the hunk into smaller hunks. See the 'a' option. If that doesn't work then maybe the 'e' option will. See the "Interactive mode" section of kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-add.html

@ThomasW - I think you mean 's' not 'a'
ThomasW
@asgeo1 yes, you're right, I meant 's'.

To clarify the above, once a hunk is displayed, if you press 's', it will break it into smaller hunks.

Use git add -i to stage the lines then commit as normal, or use git-cola.

Or
git gui, as mentioned by this answer of the duplicate question.
git add --patchmight suffice, but for control over precisely which lines are added, here's what worked nicely for me.
