I enjoy spending a couple minutes squashing, splitting, reordering and tweaking commit messages in GitUp to make my commit history look nice.

I do wonder if it's pointless though. Not clear time spent on stuff like that is really worth, vs how often you need to go back and check the history.

Maybe it's all just a exercise in OCD.

Work on a code base with 40 plus developers and 30-40 commits a day. Having a clean commit history is a must versus "test commit", "fixed that thing", "added" etc.
