> If I'm fixing CI I always put it on a feature branch and do a squash merge once I'm done. Because it's never just one quick fix, it's always 3-10 commits.

The problem is GA also does not allow you to commit a new workflow in a branch. It must first exist on your primary branch and then you may tweak it in another.

If I have to commit several trash commits, I’m happy to squash locally and then do

    git push —force-with-lease origin main

Not cool if you work in a bigger team. Especially if there are some people that are not super experienced with git, and have no idea how to fix that locally.

But if you're working alone or in a smaller team, that's perfectly fine.
