"Hey I'd like to make my commits in a branch look informative and smart!"

I am working in a feature branch that's all my own. I made many small commits as I was figuring things out. Now I want the commits to tell a story for the PR reviewers, and not a story of how many stupid mistakes I made! The tool for that is git base --interactive also available as git rebase -i.
