At my company we just use a squash policy in gitlab. Every merge request becomes a single commit to the main branch. Super easy to read the commit log because all commits are descriptive instead of a bunch of “fix MR comments” or “fix pipeline errors”.
Another advice: git reset [commit-id] followed with a git commit -a is a quick way to squash all your commits.

I am still mystified by IDE VCS tools. It’s usually faster for me to do a quick CLI shuffle than use the IDE.
I use like 3 of the git-feature from intellij (out of 100 or so). But these 3 features save me a lot of time.
(the other 2 being the 3-way-merge-view and the commit-view where I can select changes for staging)
