the problem is that VS Code ran git clean if you clicked yes, which is completely idiotic behavior. No other git client, text editor, or IDE on the planet does that.
I think they hadn’t ever used git before, and according to at least one person in the linked issue, vs code might have auto initialized the git repository for the user.
The problem is that these are “source control basics” that everyone needs to learn the hard way once it seems.
Waiting 3 months in between commits however is a really bad rookie mistake because you were worried about making a commit that wasn’t perfect.

In fairness, ALL git terms feel backwards at first.
Imperfect commits never existed when you squash.
Interesting. I wouldn’t know, because I code everything perfectly the first time.
Disclaimer: The above flagrant lie was brought to you by my also using rebase and squash to hide all of my mistakes.
Squash ftw. Simpler clearer history.
