Time for the yearly barrage of "Setup CI"..."Fix CI" commits.
That is my experience with basically every CI service out there.
Normally, you don't want to commit code unless it's been at least minimally tested, and preferably more than that.
All the CI's, however, force a workflow where you can only test it by committing the code and seeing if it works. I'm not sure how to fix that, but I see the problem.
Line the other commenter said, there's nothing wrong with committing temp/untested code to a feature branch as long as you clean it up before the PR.
There are issues that come up in niche cases. If you're using
git bisect
to track down a bug, a non-working commit can throw that off.You might have misunderstood what I meant by "clean up before the PR." None of the temp commits should end up in the main branch, where people would be bisecting.
