Gerrit has a way to look at all patches uploaded, but only take the last one which should be squashed/rebased, if it's configured that way (The "Fast forward only" option). It results in very clean history, and unmodified commit hashes from a developer's commit, whereas Github's Squash and Merge will mangle the commit message by adding a PR # to it, as well as other comments, which changes the hash. PR #'s are not as good as clean hashes, IMO. As someone who went from an org that was using Gerrit to mandatory Github usage, the latter is definitely a step backwards in code review. That said Github does have a better browsing interface than gitiles.
