Github Reactions and Merge Strategy

Recently Github has launched 2 new features:

Reactions to comments

Now users can add few reactions to Issues, Pull Requests or Comments. This will reduce a lot of noise on issues like the 👍 (:+1:) for new feature. Really cool.

Squash and rebase as a new merge strategy

Github always create a new commit merging a branch into another one (usually master).

So now we can choose to squash commits and merge. So all commits in a branch will become just one and this one will be rebased into the branch. Sounds cool for a few situations.

Check it out!
