Do you compile your code before committing it to the repository, even when you only change a few comments? I know comments are typically ignored by compilers, but I find myself doing this often out of habit.

It’s good practice to compile the code every time prior to commit. Sometimes you accidentially edit something except the comments and thus break the code. Compiling is usually very quick and helps avoid needless pain. That’s why I try to compile every time prior to commit.
