Choosing the Right Git Workflow: Merge, Rebase, or Squash

🛑No one actually likes a messy history 😁 . Not even in your Git log. 🔀 Git merge -> Keeps history exactly as it happened. Great for shared branches, but adds merge commits. 🧹 Git rebase -> Replays your commits on top of the latest code. Creates a clean, linear history — best for local branches. 📦 Git squash ->Combines multiple commits into one meaningful commit. Perfect before merging a PR. Rule my peers taught: Merge for teams. Rebase for myself. Squash for reviewers. Although different situations demands different actions to be performed but atleast you should know what you are doing . #git #developers #softwareengineering #programming
