From 38f90834cc368f77177523ef4743eb5b2670dca4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: MarcoFalke Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2018 08:36:36 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Merge #13488: Docs: Improve readability of "Squashing commits" 42c499614a Docs: Improve readability of "Squashing commits" (wodry) Pull request description: It was not easy to read the comment lines for me because I was not sure whether the sentence ended with the line or not ("pull set commits"?). Therefore, dots had been invented and I have added them to signal the end of a sentence. Also begin New sentence with a capital letter. I guess, not all 'pick' words should be replaced by 'squash'? At least I found [this DO](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-rebase-and-update-a-pull-request) rebase/squash documentation helpful, where is written that the first line should not be changed.

The basic squashing workflow is shown below. git checkout your_branch_name git rebase -i HEAD~n - # n is normally the number of commits in the pull - # set commits from 'pick' to 'squash', save and quit - # on the next screen, edit/refine commit messages - # save and quit + # n is normally the number of commits in the pull request. + # Set commits (except the one in the first line) from 'pick' to 'squash', save and quit. + # On the next screen, edit/refine commit messages. + # Save and quit. git push -f # (force push to GitHub) If you have problems with squashing (or other workflows with `git`), you can
