I always rebase my git patches. I have not found a use-case for merging yet. If you use git merge: why? I don't like merge commits because they pollute my git history.
@sandro I guess that's a use-case for merging I haven't thought of yet. I don't maintain anything where I merge PRs from others but if I do I will probably also merge
@knievelcat I'm not so fond of linear history, because it hides conflict resolution of parallel work, as well as the fact that parallel work is happening.
What is noise to you is historical information to me. To each their own?
