alt Hacker NewsYou gain the extra information by having reasonable commit messages rather than the ones you mentioned. To fix CI you force push.
Can you explain to me what an avid squash-merger puts into the commit message of the squashed commit composed of commits "argh, let's see if this works", "crap, the CI is failing again, small fix to see if it works", and "pushing before leaving for vacation" ?
The squashed commit from the PR -> main will have a clean title + description that says what was added.
Usually pretty close to what the PR title + description are actually, just without the videos and screenshots.
Example:
feat(ui): Add support for tagging users
* Users can be tagged via the user page * User tags visible in search results (configurable)
etc..
I don't need to spend extra time cleaning up my git commits and force-pushing on the PR branch, losing context for code reviews etc. Nor does anyone have to see my shitty angry commits when I tried to figure out why Playwright tests ran on my machine and failed in the CI for 10 commits.
