Agreed. I can't imagine working on a feature branch and writing 50 of these for a moderately large change, just for those to be squashed. I mean, I can, but I don't think it's necessary.

It that case you can put in the detailed commit messages later. So when you are doing your squash you type in the detailed commit.

I wish that github would stick multiple commit messages into the default pr body - if I have a single commit it'll prefill the pr body from its message, but have a series of commits it won't. Should use the same rules as it's default squash message IMO

GutHub support for reviewing multiple commits is basic (to be generous). The focus is all on the "PR" the entire diff and the description (that lives outside of git).

I think this is pretty harmful to having a useful git history and a conspiracy theorist would likely say that it is intentional lock-in.

I'd love to be able to browse pr's commit by commit marking files as viewed, and then ideally have this bubble through to the holistic change view
