What's your opinion on git rebase vs git merge? (self.git)

I basically only use git merge like Theo from T3 stack. git rebase rewrites your commit history, so I feel there's too much risk to rewriting something you didn't intend to. With merge, every commit is a real state the code was in.

Yeah, doing a git rebase -i --autosquash prior to opening a PR is good practice. (Also folks should look into autosquash if they haven't heard of it.)
