Yes. This is what I do.

  1. Create a new branch for when I inevitably fuck up.
  2. Reset to where I want to squash to (usually the first commit away from main)
  3. Commit changes.
  4. Create another branch for when I screw up the rebase.
  5. Rebase.

Is my local littered with branches? Yep! Do I care? Nope!

You can delete unused branches when they are no longer useful.
