Just sharing my thoughts: people should be very productive!, i.e. one
should commit as much as possible. There is a "squash" option to pack
several commits in one.  This is doable independently, while `merge`-ing
or while `rebase`-ing. For the latter, i.e.:
```
git rebase -i HEAD~[NUMBER OF COMMITS]
```

Don't let the idea of potentially creating a mess keep you back. `git`
is fun because you can always unmess back.

During the work with Panos, and his guidance, I enjoyed doing a lot of
mistakes. And going back.
