After switching to jujutsu, I assure you I don't miss this feature.

jj takes the opposite approach. It keeps staging things, and you use split whenever you want to separate things out.

(And yes, it stores the staged changes as revisions, so you can always back out to a previous staged state).

PS: Majutsu provides this too (a magit-like tool for jj)

I wish the j and k shortcuts could revisit hunks I’ve already added/rejected, not just ones I haven’t reviewed yet. On a large set of unstaged changes that you mostly don’t want, it really sucks to “lose your place” in the list of hunks.

git add . -N

And then review the text itself as part of the git add -p workflow

    #!/bin/bash
    
    # Put this into your .bashrc, or whatever.
    function git-add-regex {
      git diff -U0 | grepdiff -E "$1" --output-matching=hunk | git apply --cached --unidiff-zero
    }

Also, you can use -p for stash push
