Senior developer tip: squash the evidence.

Principle developer tip: rewrite history to make yourself seem smarter.

Soft reset the whole branch and commit a series of atomic and semantic patches (eg separating code, test, and refactor changes) that tell a clean narrative of the changeset to reviewers, future blamers.

And then my team squashes those commits 😩

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 days ago

Yeah it sucks. If the commits are really helpful, you can just paste the git log into the PR/MR/CR body after it's been merged

[-] xilliah@beehaw.org 2 points 4 days ago

Do you put effort into your commit messages before the rewrite, or just write something quick for yourself and then put in the effort later?

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 4 days ago

Depends, but usually I will put in the effort up front and maybe tweak them in an in[eractive rebase, or just manually copy+paste.

If they're worth saving. Sometimes you have to kill your darlings though

git commit --amend --no-edit
