Ok, well I was looking for a new project - guess I’m making git-ar hero now

Is the goal to make branch commands that match a specific song? That’s be fun.

Use the guitar controller to branch, commit, and merge to the beat of Through The Fire And Flames and try to get a conflict-free repo.

I wonder if anyone's tried to play Bad Apple! on the branch graph.

You, kind sir, are giving me ideas...

in the projects i work in i always try to force semi linear history to avoid all of this, never merge (unless it's the MR) always rebase.

this leaves a very readable history, with each feature branch highlighted and no mixture in the commits...

i haven't found any downside yet... maybe that some ci/cd are built to push to main, but making them do branch pr automerge is not that difficult
