<p>A quick note to show how to squash all git local commits into one.&nbsp;</p>
<p>A scenario will be, you've been check-in in lots of commits into your own local branch when you ready to push them to the origin branch. You don't want to check-in so many commits, e.g. depending on the developer, you might have 100 commits.</p>
<p>Here is a quick note for doing that in the command line.</p>
<p>First, make sure you are in the correct branch.&nbsp;</p>
<pre class="language-markup"><code>git checkout YourBranch</code></pre>
<p>Then, use the <strong>soft reset</strong> to the origin branch.</p>
<pre class="language-markup"><code>git reset --soft origin/YourBranch</code></pre>
<p>Now, at this moment, all your commit should become one, you just need to check-in that commit.</p>
<p>If you use Visual Studio 2019, it already has a feature that you can squash all local commits to one, however, if you still use Visual Studio 2015, you will have to do that in the command line.&nbsp;</p>
