How common is it to code review like this? (self.programming)

For non-trivial reviews, when there are files with several changes, I tend to do the following in Git:

  1. Create local branch for the pr to review
  2. Squash if necessary to get everything in the one commit
  3. Soft reset, so all the changes are modifications in the working tree
  4. Go thru the modificiations "in situ" so to speak, so I get the entire context, with changes marked in the IDE, instead of just a few lines on either side.

Just curious if this is "a bit weird", or something others do as well?

(ed: as others mentioned, a squash-merge and reset, or reset back without squashing, is the same, so step 2 isn't necessary:))

I usually find web gui good enough to get context of code. Doing all that and then needing to go back and forth from IDE to PR to leave comments sounds like it'd take a bunch more time.

Why squash all the commits if you're just going to reset? Unless I'm crazy you can reset across multiple commits.

Yeah git reset --soft then the sha of the last commit you want included in reset.
