I'm curious if anyone working in smaller teams (say, <6 devs) has found it worthwhile to try to standardize some of the git process. Larger teams I've worked in have tended to have some standards we're following - but the times I've worked on smaller teams it's tended to be

I think if I were starting a team for scratch it's likely something I'd establish from the beginning - commit message guidelines, PR requirements, squash/rebase/merge standards. But I've only ever come into teams that have been working on the product for at least a year - and it's never seemed worth the 'political capital' to wrangle the team into a new standard for it.

I've tended to opt for doing things the way I think is right given that we aren't following a standard anyways - and pointing to the benefits of it when they come up.
