Squashing commits in Git means combining multiple commits into a single commit. This helps keep your project history clean and organized, especially before submitting pull requests. Method 1: Interactive Rebase (Most Common) Step 2: This opens an interactive editor showing your commits: Step 3: Change pick to squash (or s) for all commits except the first one: Step 4: Save and close the editor. Another editor will open where you can write a new combined commit message. Method 2: Soft Reset (Simpler for Recent Commits) This keeps all your changes staged and ready for a new single commit. |

You can squash (combine) multiple commits into a single one to keep your Git history clean. 🧩 Method 1 — Interactive Rebase (most common) Example: squash last 4 commitsgit rebase -i HEAD~4 Then in the editor that opens: pick abc1234 First commit Save and close — Git will ask for a new combined commit message. git push -f ⚡ Method 2 — Soft Reset (quick and simple) If you just want to merge recent commits: git reset --soft HEAD~3 This keeps all changes staged, then creates one new commit |
