You can simply ask “git log” to show you one coarse entry per Pr rather than “destroying” the more granular history

- erik_seaberg 3y agoThis. It bugs me that people permanently throw away details of changes rather than show just the log of merge commits.
- hhjinks 3y agoWhy would I want to keep the details? Umpteen "tmp", "fix" and "fixed typo" provide negative value. When I check the blame of a line, I need to see the context of the change, meaning a description of all the work that was done as part of that change, and perhaps a ticket number. Anything else is noise that actively detracts from the value of the log. It's like 4K porn. It's less appealing when you see everything.
- mablopoule 3y agoNo yeah, absolutely do squash those commits, they are actually polluting the git history. The issue for me is when commit who are about adding a new value in the env file become mixed with template and responsive handling, mixed potentially with a bug fix.
