I hate that people git squash merges into dev, it always adds an extra layer of unnecessary ceremony when fixing your original branch, as opposed to just pulling the latest back into your original branch, then fixing the one line or whatever that was affected after merge, and now your git history is incompatible, so you have to delete your local branches because they're pointless now. Git squash should be done before your PR if you want to nuke dumb commits, but I prefer to have it all, if you want to find the key commits, tag them!
