The real problem is that cyclists typically ride near the edge of the lane or road rather than in the center of the lane. This puts the cyclist outside of the foveal field of view for the motorist, which means that they're less likely

No problem :) One thing I forgot to mention about squash! commits was to use the --allow-empty flag when running git commit, so that we can make a commit without having to actually change any files. Then, when doing the interactive rebase

On my team, we will open a PR with a logical set of commits. As reviews are posted, we will address those comments by using fixup! or squash! commits (using the title of the commit we want to amend). fixup commits are used for code change

It's trivially easy to do if you run something like: git rebase --exec "test_command" where test_command is one or more commands that you run to test the code for that commit. I typically do this for unit tests and in

If you squash commits in a PR down to a single commit, then doesn't that result in a commit that makes a lot of changes that makes it harder to pinpoint a bug or revert without conficts? A lot of features take more than a single logica
