As commits keep piling up, and last minute fixes come in, its easy to forget to do a final run through of the app. Getting in the habit of posting a video after your last commit is valuable, for catching bugs when you are in the zone, instead of getting interrupted by QA or user complaints when you have competiting priorities.

You can also use iMovie to create a recording and drag that iMovie file into your github pull request summary or message as well!.
