Kindly keep git history linear by avoiding merge commits

I really love this project, Andy. A small change in this repo's settings would help keep git history linear, clean and easy to navigate. Please avoid merge commits while merging PRs.

Squash and merge option would be easier I think.

@andybelldesign : I still see merge commits happening to this repo. Please try out squash and merge option while merging PRs, that will keep git history clean and easy to read.

I’ll keep it how it is, cheers 👍

Quick follow up question : Why though? It is a setting change at repo level that will make it easier for others to read commits.
