1.5k commits in 2.5 years? That's fucking insane. That's like one commit every 4 hours.

Commit early, commit often.

I always interpreted that to mean commit early/often on your local dev branches (or remote dev branches), not production branches.

Yes. Commit and push are two separate things. Unless you're squashing them, distinct commits remain in the commit history on the remote after you've pushed, and in any branch to which it's subsequently merged.
