Squash my last X commits together using Git

Question

How can I squash my last X commits together into one commit using Git?

Answer 1

If you use TortoiseGit, you can the function Combine to one commit:

1. Open TortoiseGit context menu
2. Select Show Log
3. Mark the relevant commits in the log view
4. Select Combine to one commit from the context menu

This function automatically executes all necessary single git steps. Unfortunatly only available for Windows.
