not every single commit needs to pass every single test besides CI only needs to test the merge commit

  If every commit passes tests, tools like `git bisect` are much more useful.

    how do you mean?
    • yencabulator 5y ago
      If you find a new bug, git bisect can very quickly find which commit introduced the bug, and understanding the origin makes fixing the bug easier. That mechanism does not work nearly as well if some commits are not in a usable state.

        but if that is the case why not just git bisect skip $(git merge-base main branch) ? to me, squashing the tree to simplify an edge case seems needlessly radical
