How common is it to code review like this? (programming.dev)

For non-trivial reviews, when there are files with several changes, I tend to do the following in Git:

Create local branch for the pr to review
Squash if necessary to get everything in the one commit
Soft reset, so all the changes are modifications in the working tree
Go thru the modificiations "in situ" so to speak, so I get the entire context, with changes marked in the IDE, instead of just a few lines on either side.

Just curious if this is "a bit weird", or something others do as well?

(ed: as others mentioned, a squash-merge and reset, or reset back without squashing, is the same, so step 2 isn't necessary:))

Different things will work for different organizations. More important than this is whether everyone is on the same page with their workflow in checking PRs. One commit prs might be easy for some workflows and bad for others
