I try to structure my commits in a way that minimizes their blast radius, which usually likes trying to reduce the number of files In touch per commit.
For example, my commit history would look like this:
Add new method to service class
Use new service class method in worker
And then as I continue working, all changes will be git commit--fixuped to one of those two commit’s hashes depending on where they occur.
And when it’s time to rebase in full, I can do a git rebase master--interactive --autosquash.

.This is the way! Small commits with descriptive commit names, then just fixup into a few feature commits. Makes rebase a breeze.
