Something like Gerrit. Instead of carefully crafting a logical series of patches that are all well documented with commit messages, PRs are just garbage filled diff soup of "fix typo" commits. I hate it. It's hard to review and seems to be based on putting the least amount of effort into proposing changes to the code. See https://gist.github.com/thoughtpolice/9c45287550a56b2047c631...

That's down to culture and (self) discipline, not tools.

It's not entirely, because Github simply does not support inter-version diffs when you have multiple commits. If you force push onto multiple commits there is no way to show a diff between version 2 and version 3 of those commits. How Github lacks such basic (and imo necessary) functionality in 2025 is amazing to me.

Something like linked and dependent PRs in a chain would go someway to replicating Gerrit but again this basic functionality is not available out of the box for whatever reason.

Well but this is controllable, i.e. it is people who choose to do this not the platform. Very much an internal design choice.
