The more you understand the inner workings of git, the more you realize all the people who pointed and laughed at GitHub for being a centralized place for everyone's git repos were right.
This is especially true now that GitHub has reached 0 nines of uptime.
I also don't like that everything became all about pull requests instead of commits. Nobody reads the commit messages these days. They might as well not be there.
If I wrote all my commit messages at work by rolling my face across the keyboard, not one person would notice.
And then, because so many people like to squash-merge GitHub PRs because it "keeps the history clean", you run into the problem where `git blame` points at the squashed commit with the frankenstein message rather than the specific self-contained commit I made.
And since, as I mentioned above, nobody looks at the commits inside the PR, the context is effectively lost.
And this is feel in my pancreas. If only the message associated with a line's change could tell you why that line changed. If only we had the technology.
