I'm always reminded of this contrast: > Look, I don’t give two shits about my Git commits.

Utter Disregard for Git Commit History https://zachholman.com/posts/git-commit-history/ https://zachholman.com/posts/git-commit-history/ (The problem with this "unit of change" theorizing is obvious, especially considering GH only recently added a squash-merge feature.) vs. Torvalds on GitHub PRs: > Git comes with a nice pull-request generation module, but github instead decided to replace it with their own totally inferior version.

It's fine for hosting, but the pull requests and the online commit editing, are just pure garbage. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/pull/17#issuecomment-5654674 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/pull/17#issuecomment-56546...
