The article author appears to weasel-word merge commits and squash-merge together when they are very different things. Squash-merge into main / feature branch is almost equivalent to rebase and is the workflow Github / Gitlab / etc supports well in the UI. The article author might be conflating rebase and squash-merge in order to create clickbait. In particular the author cites lots of “private repos” but gives no evidence because I guess they’re private haha.
