Another reason I don't like squashing commits within pull\/merge request is losing detail within the commit messages.<\/p>\n\n
As someone who usually writes detailed commit messages that explain why the change is being made, any gotchas or alternative approaches that were tried, etc, I want that information to be retained.<\/p>\n\n
Previously, when working on a team and doing merge\/pull requests, when merging a feature or release branch, either the tool or reviewer would delete all the messages from the squashed commits.<\/p>\n\n
The time I spent writing the messages was wasted, and the information was lost.<\/p>\n\n
