Squash commits on GitHub PR

Question

I have made 6 commits on a GitHub branch completely online and I need to squash them into 1 commit. Is there a button for me to do this? I've only made the commits on the GitHub website so is there a way to do this without using the command line?

Answer 1

When merging, instead of just clicking the "Merge pull request" button, click the drop down menu and select "Squash and merge" option (second option down):

Answer 2

It seems you can't merge your commits purely with GitHub (I did a brief search on Google, there seems no introduction with it), but you can squash your commits during merging. In your question says on a GitHub branch completely online, it seems that you are holding a second branch on GitHub. Then, while you are merging that branch to master branch, you are able to decide whether merging these 6 commits into 1.
