Remove old git commits

Question

I\'m very new to git, and was wondering if something like this is possible?

>git log --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit
2f05aba Added new feature
3371cec Fi         


        

Answer 1

This is possible with git rebase. Try the following

git rebase -i HEAD~4

and then, follow the interactive instructions in your editor. In the first step you "squash" the commits. It should look something like this:

pick 2f05aba ... will be preserved
squash 3371cec ... will be squashed with daed25c
squash daed25c ... will be squashed with e2b2a84
pick e2b2a84 .. will contain this and 3371cec and daed25c

In the second step you can edit the commit messages.
