I gave up on rebasing or any form of history rewrite after going through the screw up phase, then watching every dev that came after me do the same at least once.

I realised that treating a git repo like an immutable collection, where existing commits are NEVER mutated makes it far easier to reason about history and nearly impossible to do serious damage.

Devs can do whatever they please with their own local pulls (such as squashing 50 rambling commits during dev), but once a commit is on remote, it never changes.
