At my company we just use a squash policy in gitlab. Every merge request becomes a single commit to the main branch. Super easy to read the commit log because all commits are descriptive instead of a bunch of “fix MR comments” or “fix pipeline errors”.

Another advice: git reset [commit-id] followed with a git commit -a is a quick way to squash all your commits.

Another advice ...quick way to squash all your commits

in your IDE select the commits you want to squash. Then rightclick. Then "squash". All done.

I am still mystified by IDE VCS tools. It’s usually faster for me to do a quick CLI shuffle than use the IDE.

I use like 3 of the git-feature from intellij (out of 100 or so). But these 3 features save me a lot of time.

(the other 2 being the 3-way-merge-view and the commit-view where I can select changes for staging)
