People's tools shape their workflows; projects that use Gerrit tend to do more squashing of commits, because there's much more per-commit overhead. When I encountered Gerrit, I found it really frustrating to work with for this exact reason. Other aspects of it were great, but if you're used to "one logical change per commit" and end up with a dozen commits in a PR, that can be painful with Gerrit.
- lima 6y agoThe whole point of Gerrit is to keep doing "one logical change per commit", but reviewing them individually. Anecdotally, this results in much higher-quality reviews. You can still group them by "feature" and merge them atomically by using topics.
