      <p>There are two things I avoid when merging changes in Git.</p>

      <p>Merge commits and squashing commits.</p>

      <p>Both make it hard to revert changes if needed once they've been merged, such as a major bug in production and you quickly need to roll back.</p>

      <p>Merge commits are difficult to revert and if a commit has been squashed into one larger commit, you can't revert it without also reverting everything else.</p>

      <p>Working with small, unsquashed commits makes it simple to revert a specific one and only that one.</p>

      <p>If I need to revert something, I want to be able to do as simply and specifically as possible.</p>

      <p>Optimise for revertability.</p>
