squash

I am new to git and I tried to squash my commits. In my branch, it shows my 32 commits (John Smith), within that three commits of another two developers too (Prince Rolf and Harry). For one commit a developer has amended. Now if I try to squash all the commits I am getting an error: error: could not apply ccdfa76... Add readme.md I googled for the error, but was not able to find it. I tried squashing by ten and then ten but that also throwing error. Can you guys tell me how to swim it providing the error below? $ git rebase -i aaaa pick 04dc4d0 play: wip sports pick f255d38 play: sports Your

In Docker 1.13 the new --squash parameter was added. I'm now hoping to reduce the size of my images as well as being able to "hide" secret files I have in my layers. Below you can now see the difference from doing a build with and without the --squash parameter. Without Squash With Squash Now to my question. If I add a secret file in my first layer, then use the secret file in my second layer, and the finally remove my secret file in the third layer, and then build with the --squash flag. Will there be any way now to get the secret file? Farhad Farahi If I add a secret file in my first layer,

Which one should one use to hide microcommits? Is the only difference between git merge --squash and git merge --no-ff --no-commit the denial of the other parents? Yasushi Shoji The differences These options exists for separate purposes. Your repository ends up differently. Let's suppose that your repository is like this after you are done developing on the topic branch: --squash If you checkout master and then git merge --squash topic; git commit -m topic , you get this: --no-ff --no-commit Instead, if you do git merge --no-ff --no-commit; git commit -m topic , you get this: Hiding micro

As the title says, I am not really clear about the differences between a git merge --squash and a git merge --no-commit . As far as I understand the help page for git merge , both commands would leave me in an updated working-tree, where it is still possible to edit and then to do a final commit (or multiple commits). Could someone clarify the differences of those 2 options? When would I use one instead of the other? ralphtheninja git merge --no-commit This is just like a normal merge but doesn't create a merge-commit. This commit will be a merge commit: when you look at the history, your

I've been using Git Extensions for a while now (it's awesome!) but I haven't found a simple answer to the following: Sometimes, when typing a commit message, a make a typo. My friend showed me how to fix it the following way (in Git Extentions): Right-Click on the commit > Advanced > Fixup commit Then I simply check the box "Amend" and rewrite my message and voila! My commit message is fixed. However this other option "Squash commit"... I have always wondered what it does?! My question is: Would someone simply explain me what is the exact difference between Squash commit and Fixup commit in

I merged an upstream of a large project with my local git repo. Prior to the merge I had a small amount of history that was easy to read through, but after the merge a massive amount of history is now in my repo. I have no need for all the history commits from the upstream repo. There have been other commits made after this upstream merge that I would like to keep. How do I squash all that history that was merged from the upstream into one commit while keeping the commits made after the upstream merge? E-rich The solution I ended up using was to manually recreate the history. I did this mainly

For some projects I do or work on sometimes it is usually best that we squash/rebase all changes into a single commit. However, I was wondering how this affects the contributions page on github. For example, if I spent 2 months pushing changes to a project I created and then after 2 months decided to rebase it to one single commit, would github remove all the contribution cubes on the map for the past two months? I saw this still here so I figured I might as well answer the question. So the answer is YES. It will remove the contributions from the graph. It won't do it right away because

while I am working on new code I make many small commits to track my changes. My company however prefers each feature to be committed in a single commit. So the solution is to squash my entire branch down to a single commit. How do I squash an entire branch without using git rebase --interactive and then changing pick to squash for all the commits? meagar My preferred method is a two-liner (excluding steps 1 and 4 below). The benefits are you do not need to know/record any commit IDs, you can write a simple alias to perform all the steps involved, and your actually moving your entire branch
