I've never understood the need for squash merging. One of the biggest advantage this article mentions is that the history will look neater. Well what if I told you that you can have both? Git log has the `--merges` flag (I could be mistaken on the flag name), which will remove everything that's not a merge (it does require using `--no-ff` which github et al use when merging PRs). Now you have a clean commit history that doesn't include the individual commits as if it was squashed. But your real history still contains the individual commits thus doing something like bisect will give you much small commits to look at.

Granted, I'm not aware of github or the like having a view that only shows merges but git log command definitely does.
