For what it’s worth, I hate squashed commits. I can’t count the number of times that I wanted to know the source of one specific change, only to be redirected at a git diff with thousands of lines of changes.

Ridiculous. That defeats the point of source control, which is partly to aid future readers, not merely track changes.

I’m happy your workflow works nicely for you, but I hope the mindset goes away.

Personally, I think it’s important to force push over your “bad commit” when it happens. That way you don’t generate dozens of WIP commits, and there’s no need to squash. But sometimes WIP commits are fine to let through. They inform other devs about what you’re experimenting with.
