git-squash:tldr:37bb1
This command is used in Git to combine multiple commits into a single commit (or "squash" them).
Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:
-
git squash
: This is not a built-in Git command, so it is likely a custom script or function defined in your Git configuration. It performs the actual squash operation. -
HEAD~${n}
: This refers to the parent commit(s) that will be included in the squash. The~
symbol followed by${n}
indicates the number of commits you want to squash.HEAD~1
means the immediate previous commit,HEAD~2
means the previous two commits, and so on. -
"${message}"
: This is the commit message for the resulting squashed commit. It should be enclosed in double quotes. Replace${message}
with the desired commit message.
So, when running this command, it will squash the specified number of previous commits (HEAD~${n}
) into a single commit with the provided message ("${message}"
). The exact behavior may depend on the git squash
command implementation or additional configuration settings.
