> Squash/rebase also plays horrendously with my local branches.

This is a very good point, and it has been slightly annoying at times with this approach. It hasn't been a major pain point for me, so I've just dealt with it. I've seen some scripts/aliases that claim to solve this, but I haven't spent much time looking into it.

My current workflow is to watch for a PR to be accepted on github, then use the delete branch button in the GUI. On my local repo, I'll then use `git remote prune origin`, and only call `git branch -D` on branches that were pruned. It's a workable solution, and it could be scripted around, but I don't want to. Reproducing the functionality that already exists in git feels like a waste of time, when the entire purpose would be to work around the existence of a rebase workflow. Better would be to just use a merge/no-ff workflow in the first place.
