git-squash

Custom command for git to squash the most recent n commits into the previous. Will show the commit messages of the commits to be squashed, and ask for confirmation before proceeding.

Installation

Place the file git-squash in /usr/local/bin (or another directory that presented in the PATH variable) and make it executable. Git will find it, and make it behave like any other git command.

Usage:

For example you have a feature branch A you want to squash before merging it to branch B. Then you need to checkout A and then enter in terminal at repository directory this command:

git squash B

Another example if have a feature branch A you want to squash it to specific commit with hash (a1b23f4e for example). Then execute:

git squash a1b23f4e

This command will leave default commit message containing description of all squashed commits. If you don't need it just use git commit --amend command to edit message as you wish. Or simply use git reset --soft and git commit after that without using --squash feature.
