Git push all commits as single commit with custom message

Question

I was wondering if it is possible to push all my local commits (all 'unpushed' commits of the day) to the remote repository as a single commit with a custom message. None of the posts on Stack Overflow seem to answer this. I'm using Git Bash on Windows.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Use git rebase -i HEAD~N where N is <the number of your commits> + 1 (to be on the safe side). You will need to mark all your commits but the first one as s (stands for "squash") and save/quit the editor. It will ask you for the commit message for the final squashed commit - specify one, and you are done.

Answer 2

What you want to do is called "squash". Take a look here:
