    Only if there are changes in the same files and on the same lines in both branches. And if you’re a commit freak, you should probably be squashing/amending, especially if you’re making multiple commits of changes on the same lines in the same files. The --amend flag exists for a reason. No one needs to see your “fixed things”, “changed things again”, “fixed it for real” type commits.

      What I do locally on my branch is my own business.

      Honestly, when doing a merge/pull request into the parent branch, that’s when you squash. You don’t need the entire history of a development branch in main.

        Lol ok, but don’t expect git to read your mind. Like I said earlier, if people take a day or two to understand the tool, they can adjust their personal workflows to work better within the confines of git.
