squash

I performed multiple merge commits but they should have been merge --squash instead. The conflict resolution took more than a day so I can't afford to redo the merging by hand. Is there a way to convert the merge to merge --squash ? It's worth noting here that git merge and git merge --squash are closely related, but git merge --squash does not create a merge . The phrasing here is very important, particularly the article "a" in front of "merge": "a merge" is a noun, while "to merge" is a verb. Both commands perform the act of merging. The difference lies in how the result is saved . It's also

Sometimes I need to merge squash from Eclipse. I know I can do it in command line, but it will be really useful to have graphic option integrated in Eclipse. Do you know how to do it? You can start an interactive rebase in EGit , and select squash for the commits you want squashed. Note: for squashing the last few commits, historically the other way was a soft reset (see this thread ) select in history the first commit which I don't want to squash right-click and say " Team->Reset->Soft " right-click and say " Commit ". This commit will contain all the changes of the last m commits together

I am using the git flow way of managing branches in my repo, as described in: http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ Thus the sequence of commands I should use would be as follows: git checkout mybranch git pull --rebase origin develop git checkout develop git merge --no-ff mybranch However, there is one thing that I would like to do differently, in some cases: I would like to preserve all of my commits on my feature branch ( mybranch ), but have them lumped together (or squashed) into a single diff when merging into develop . So this is what I think the sequence of commands

I'm trying to rebase and squash all my commits from current branch to master. Here is what I'm trying to do: git checkout -b new-feature make a couple of commits, after it I was trying: git rebase -i master in this case commits will remain in new-feature branch git checkout master git rebase -i new-feature It gives me and edit window with noop message. I know about command: git merge --squash new-feature But I'm currently working on learning of rebase command. When rebasing, Git will not move commits to another branch. It will move the branch including all its commits. If you want to get the

A common development workflow for us is to checkout branch b , commit a bunch to it, then squash all those commits into one (still on b ). However, during the rebase -i process to squash all the commits, there are frequently conflicts at multiple steps. I essentially want to alter the branch into one commit that represents the state of the repository at the time of the final commit on b I've done some searching but I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. I don't want to merge --squash because we would like to test the squashed feature branch before merging. Rasmus Østergaard Kjær Voss If
