Squash all my commits into one for GitHub pull request

git, github, pull-request, squash

Solution

Just a simple addition to help someone else looking for this solution. You can pass in the number of previous commits you would like to squash. for example,

git rebase -i HEAD~3 

This will bring up the last 3 commits in the editor.

Problem

I made a pull request on GitHub. Now the owner of the repository is saying to squash all the commits into one. When I type `git rebase -i` Notepad opens with the following content: ``` noop # Rebase 0b13622..0b13622 onto 0b13622 # # Commands: # p, pick = use commit # r, reword = use commit, but edit the commit message # e, edit = use commit, but stop for amending # s, squash = use commit, but meld into previous commit # f, fixup = like "squash", but discard this commit's log message # x, exec = run command (the rest of the line) using shell # # These lines can be re-ordered; they are executed from top to bottom. # # If you remove a line here THAT COMMIT WILL BE LOST. # # However, if you remove everything, the rebase will be aborted. # # Note that empty commits are commented out ``` I searched on Google but I do not understand how to do this.
