There's a reason merging squash commits is so popular, and that's because it's the easiest and most compatible with how most people use git. Most people want their branch to be their own workspace, and while in some kind of fantasy world each commit would be filled with very useful information, in reality it's mostly swear words and short notes. Having squash commits and PRs can force developers to write a longer, better description of their entire feature when merging instead, and get rid of all the mostly scattered and hard to understand commits from the feature branch. The only people I've ever met that prefer rebasing are people who live and breathe git and feel like every commit is sacred, but this is an incredibly tedious way to work -- if your features are so large that you feel that the history of a hundred commits is necessary, just make smaller features, or better yet, actually comment your code like you're supposed to.

@@kinkajou2310 interactive rebasing is a great use case for squashing your own commits, but when following the process I just described it also doesn't matter much since *all* commits will disappear when the feature branch is merged into "dev" or whatever anyway. There are obviously use cases for not using merge commits ("release merges" from dev -> main are one of them), but rebases are also inherently more dangerous since they, unlike merging, can lead to losing your history completely if you're sloppy when resolving merge conflicts.

Instead of writing swear words and short notes before making a PR one could split up their work into meaningful chunks by soft-resetting their branch and staging important bits of code into their own meaningful parts. Or better yet, start by doing exactly that at the very beginning of the feature development. For example. • Task#69: Implemented tests for feature whatever | • Task#69: Implemented admin tools to control feature whatever | • Task#69: Implemented main business logic for feature whatever ## (this is where the soft-reset probably happened) | • Task#69: Refactored some stuff to make implementeation of feature whatever less painful/more better etc ## (the actual start of feature development) It's your own branch, you can make it as pretty as you want it. And others can appreciate all the logically split bits instead of trying to makes sense of all the "wip", "some shit i did here" and "bubble sort or something, idk, i'm not a programmer" commits during code review. It's always faster to review individual commits when they make sense instead of staring at the wall of code. At least for me P.S. I'm rebase and fastforward guy all the way btw. But you gotta clean up your commits first. Even if you'll squash them into one

Tried various strategies and so far I prefer to always work with merge commits and almost no rebase (unless the branch was never published). Merge from main branch to feature branch. Merge from feature branches to master when ready, no squash, no fast forward, always creating a merge commit. I don't find the history messy as it's exactly as development happened. Remember that you can always see history with --first-parent if you want to see only a commit (similar with how squash result can be viewed).

I've read (and experienced) that reabase can actually create havoc when other people have the branch on their machines. It is the most attractive solution though because it makes reviews easy. You don't see noise from the parent branch on your feature branch. Its too bad that Git's implementation allows for this attractive intuitive feature to be risky.

One time I had to work with 1 or 2 other people in the same branch, because that's what we deploy to staging to test our features. It's quite messy, and when I want to deploy my changes, there were some conflicts, so I decided to rebase the staging branch from my feature branch because somehow the resolution is simpler, and force push it to staging. All good. Then after some time, my teammate asked me: "hey, did you delete my changes?". Turns out my local branch was outdated. So yeah, don't rebase a shared branch. Or probably, don't force push a shared branch, which is what you'd need to do when rebasing

One major advantage of using rebase instead of merge that is not mentioned in the video: when two developers work on different feature branches in parallel, when merging git will mix up the commits of each branch, so it's easy to break someone else's code. As an example, dev1 makes commit A at 9am and commit B at 11am, while dev2 makes a commit in a different branch at 10am. When merging both features, git tries to combine the 3 commits in this order: A, C, B. This mix up makes it easy to break code and merge conflicts become a mess. With rebase&fast-forward, the commits will be seen as A, B, C (or C, A, B if dev2 made the PR first). Just because the changes from both branches were committed in parallel, it does not mean that the logic in the code evolution follows the same logic, as the features were independently developed. Hope that was clear enough - I feel like I didn't explain myself that well :') To the creators: Great video! Could I suggest making an explanatory video on how to work with forks as a follow-up? I've been recently taught this together with rebase+squash by a senior dev & it has made my workflow so much better!!!

"when merging both features" - hopefully you're not actually talking about merging 2 feature branches into a main branch with 1 command, which is referred to as an "octopus" merge. I'm going to assume you're not, because in your rebase example you talk about whoever made the PR first. Confusing comment, because there is never a case where a conflict is handled any different in a merge vs a rebase - unless you're referring to an "octopus" merge which should never be done anyways (and isn't if pull requests are being utilized).

I think it won't matter who merges their branch to main branch as the commits will rewritten according to the timeline (In case of rebase). In above case A'->C'->B' as C was commited before B but in case of merge it's gonna be A-C-B--. Correct me if you think otherwise.

What a great video! Here is why I ask my team to avoid rebases and squashes. Sometimes I look back at the history for dead ends, i.e. commits with no descendants. Without rebases and squashes these generally fit one of three categories. (A) Work that later turned out not be needed, (B) work that is on-going and hasn’t yet gone into a merge request, and (C) work that should have gone into a merge-request, but didn’t. Hopefully the first category is rare. Rebase and squash create new commits and the older versions of those commits are left in the repository without descendents. That creates another category of commits without descendants: (D) useful work that was replicated elsewhere. It’s often hard to distinguish (D) from (B) and (C). Far from having a clean history, you have a messy history with a lot of dead ends and commits that replicate work on other commits. Well that’s how I see it, but I’m interested in reading the comments to see why others like rebasing and squashing.

I prefer the hybrid approach. First create a new feature branch from main branch. Add a few commits on feature branch. If the commits all belong to the same task or represent the same feature, fixup/squash them. If each commit represents distinct functionality or it makes sense to revert a part of the feature, not the whole feature, then don't use fixup/squash. After the work is done - rebase the branch with the main. Using this technique, you can combine both squash/rebase as needed.

@orterves 10 ай бұрын
Rebase and merge ("semi-linear merge" - not fast forward!) is superior for cleaner change information. I call it the "knotted-rope". After rebasing but before merging, I frequently reset soft and selectively commit the files in sets with messages that best describe what was done, in way that ensures each commit builds on the last. Sometimes it's necessary to commit partial file changes or even adjust the changes directly to better express a 'sub-commit'. You can always compare the resulting refactoring with the original rebased branch head commit to confirm the sum total is the same, so there's no risk of losing changes with this approach. What you end up with is clean, readable sets of delineated commits that are useful for future investigation into the history of changes - while still allowing the development process to be continuously committing to a branch without too much concern for the messages or presentation of the commits. It's a nice have your cake and eat it too approach

For me rebasing works great in open source like enviornment, where Focus and review is on the changes contributed. In enviornment where many people work full time on a code base, the process is also part of what you need to track, so simple merges are both better and can avoid wrongly resolved conflicts - and you should build your linear history using different tool (like PR history).

I’m still yet to come across an issue using the rebase+squash strategy, so I really can’t see any reason not to use it. IMO a feature shouldn’t be picked apart after merge, just wholly reverted and fixed and remerged. Rarely could I revert a single commit from my feature branch (e.g. to resolve a bug after merge to main), and not have it break the feature entirely.

I'm probably doing it wrong, but there's two projects I work on and do it differently on each. One project is with a small team of 3 developers and we only merge. Commit history is not "messy" due to the size of the team and feature concurrency, but we get tonnes of detail which is helpful when tracking down regressions. My other project though, I use squash commits. Gitlab does a good job of building commit messages out of the feature commit history so I don't really lose anything. Main history is cleaner, etc.

Rebasing looks good at first, but improperly done leads to a big headache due to the history being rewritten. Went through this and it's not a fun time. Squashing is actually the best of both worlds, you lose the fine detail of commits but it all gets merged into one commit and one big message. You can always see it afterwards, it's just harder to read. I only rebase local branches on the main one before I've done any commits on them, which is usually very early on after branch creation when a colleague merges a PR.

Excellent video, however I feel like squash is not in the same category as rebase and merge (which video may confuse people of being so), its more of a strategy of how we merge our final changes to the main branch, and not how we keep track of main branch with our feature branch. I think if solo using feature branch, rebase is the best way to go, after which you merge PR with squashed commits.

We do this: - Create a feature branch from main - do works in feature branch - and while doing PRs to main/dev, we squash commits into one and do PR. - merge the PR to main/dev This makes the commit history clean and we are really fan of it. However, while doing this, we make sure that the team knows how git rebase works and how commit hash are changed when sqashing/rebasing so that we won't have to deal with weird commit hash mismatch issues. Another thing that we widely use is the interactive mode of rebase. We use it from picking, rewording, squashing, editing, and fixing commits.

I used both, MERGE and REBASE. Sometimes, it's better to leave a history (merge commit), since it's easier to be tracked. But sometimes, I used 'rebase', where I don't need to track anything.

I really like the semi-linear merge used by azure-devops. It emulates running git rebase master on the pr branch, followed by git merge pr --no-ff. Squashing is too destructive in my opinion, so thats a no go.

I use rebase to squash 20-50 small commits on my feature branch into a few meaningful ones before merging. I typically commit up to 10 times an hour.

main -> feature = rebase feature -> main = squash + merge rebase would be painful if the feature branch existed too long, you need to resolve conflicts from the oldest commit to the latest one(standard mode), squashing commits in the feature branch can improve the rebase experience, personally a better solution is to make a smaller task and PR.

It would be good to touch problems that git rebase may lead to. Not every one aware about a pitfalls that you may face using git rebase unthoughtful. Good video by the way.

It depends on your team. As for me, I work on features alone, so it's acceptable to use rebase to keep the branch up to date with the main branch. After the work is done, I simply use squash to update the main branch. This approach is very clear and allows tracking of the updates in the main branch through a single commit. However, when multiple people work in a feature branch, rebasing might break another developer's code.

We use dedicated epic branches for multi person features, that works really well for us.

I usually do rebase + squash in my projects. But if a branch has some commits that I would like to keep unsuqashed, e.g. a code change that was later undone in the same branch but I think it might be useful in the future, I'd use a merge (without fast-forward).

Rebase whenever you want to get your feature branch in sync with main, when done implementing - squash, tag and merge into main.
