Git: “Cannot 'squash' without a previous commit” error while rebase

Question

I have the following in the to-do text of git rebase -i HEAD~2:

pick 56bcce7 Closes #2774
pick e43ceba Lint.py: Replace deprecated link

# Rebase 68         


        

Answer 1

I just tried this approach.

git log -n3

This would show the last 3 commits which would give me the idea of what is the latest commit and which one went previously. Now stated rebasing,

git rebase -i HEAD~3

Choose the lastest commit on top of which we need to squash the other two. The commit id which is choosen as base commit would be like,

pick commit_id

For the other two commit ids, change them into,

squash commit_id

or simply,

s commit_id
