The "every commit must be independent" ideology sounds nice when you write it down, but often you'll have such large changes that in order to make them independent you'd have to basically finish an entire feature. In those cases I tend to just indicate WIP (work in progress) in my commit messages with a brief snippet about what progress was made.
This way, if you skip all the WIP commits you'll have mostly runnable code, and if you want to review a PR commit-by-commit it's easier to see what was being attempted in each commit than to only look at the feature as a whole.
