merge commits that catch my feature branches up to main
You’d be squashing those when you merge back down into main anyway, no?

You’d hope so - and if one does, I have no concerns about whatever one chooses to do in the privacy of their own branch - but some people insist on directly merging to main
(preserving two parallel histories), rather than squashing their change into a single commit. Savages ;)
