Whats The Problem

• many commits inside a feature branch
  • small enhancement or defect fix
  • not using git stash

The Solution: Git Rebase

As in my commit message I use issue number such as #143 fix abc, therefore I set git config comment character to “;”.

git config core.commentchar ";"
git log --pretty=oneline
git rebase --interactive HEAD~2

in this example, this is what you might see

pick abc2345 testing
pick def1234 latest commit

edit it to

pick abc2345 testing
s def1234 latest commit

save it and execute

git log --pretty=oneline

and you will find that the latest 2 commit has been merged to one

Conclusion

This is helpful if you are creating a lot of dummy commit due to minor bug fix or not git stashing.
