thevef.blogg.se - Sourcetree squash commits

It's much easier to read through a source tree and understand what bugs have been fixed when a single commit fixes a single bug, for example.

Note that empty commits are commented outįixing up your commits in this way is good practice before sharing with your team members or before pushing the changes to a remote repository.

However, if you remove everything, the rebase will be aborted.

If you remove a line there that commit will be lost.

The lines can be re-ordered - they are executed from top to bottom.

exec (or x): run command (the rest of the line) using shellĪnd a few other important notes from Git regarding the interactive mode when rebasing commits:.

fixup (or f): like "squash", but discard this commit log message.

squash (or s): use commit, but meld into previous commit.

edit (or e): use commit, but stop for amending.

reword (or r): use commit, but edit the commit message.

Here are all of the commands that can be used when rebasing: Or, if you want to keep just the "picked" commit message, you can use "fixup" instead of "squash" for the others, which will do the same as squash but discard the commit message. To specify a new commit message you should use "reword" instead of "pick" on the first commit. Saving your edits to this file will result in a single commit that is the combination of changes from all four, with the commit message being a combination of all 4 as well. Squash b7c864c Seriously, #421 is fixed now Squash cc4f2b5 Didn't work, trying something else Continuing with our example, we would want to combine the commits like this: pick b1339db Fixed issue #421 However if you replace "pick" with "squash" then that commit will be combined with the previous one. Pick b7c864c Seriously, #421 is fixed nowĪny commit with the "pick" keyword will remain in the source tree.

Pick cc4f2b5 Didn't work, trying something else For our example above we'd see a text editor with the last 4 commits in reverse order, like the following: pick b1339db Fixed issue #421 The -i flag is short for -interactive, which will bring up your default text editor so you can edit the commands before rebasing. This tells Git to re-apply the last 4 commits on top of another base tip. In order to squash the commits you'll need to use the rebase command like this: $ git rebase -i HEAD~4 In cases like this you may want to squash commits together to create one nice, clean commit for this issue. All they really care about is the final solution to issue #421, but not necessarily how you got there. Although it's great the solution was eventually found, this isn't exactly something you'd want to share with the rest of your team. For example, let's say your recent commit history looks something like this: $ git log -onelineĬc4f2b5 Didn't work, trying something elseĪs you can see from the logs, issue #421 took a few tries to get fixed.

This can be done for many reasons, one of which being that the source history needs to be cleaned up before sharing with your team or submitting a pull request to an open source project. When you squash commits, you're combining 2 or more commits into a single commit. In this case I'm referring to cleaning up the history of a source tree by squashing commits. One of the nice things about Git is its flexibility, allowing you to perform just about any task on a source tree that you'd need.
