Interactive-rebase Memes

So git interactive rebase lets you rewrite history by squashing all those embarrassing "WIP", "fixup pls", and "why tf isn't this working" commits into one pristine, professional-looking commit. Then you push it and suddenly you're the dev who nails features on the first try. Your coworkers think you're a coding wizard who never makes mistakes. Meanwhile, your actual commit history looked like a dumpster fire of trial and error, Stack Overflow copy-paste sessions, and existential crises. But nobody needs to know that. Interactive rebase is basically the Instagram filter of version control—making your messy reality look flawless to everyone else. The real kicker? We all do it, we all know everyone else does it, but we still maintain this collective illusion that everyone writes perfect code on their first attempt. It's the tech industry's worst-kept secret.
