Why would I want to keep the details? Umpteen "tmp", "fix" and "fixed typo" provide negative value. When I check the blame of a line, I need to see the context of the change, meaning a description of all the work that was done as part of that change, and perhaps a ticket number. Anything else is noise that actively detracts from the value of the log.

It's like 4K porn. It's less appealing when you see everything.



No yeah, absolutely do squash those commits, they are actually polluting the git history.

The issue for me is when commit who are about adding a new value in the env file become mixed with template and responsive handling, mixed potentially with a bug fix.
