The easiest way (IMHO) to achieve this is certainly: # start a new branch at the tip of the series $ git checkout -b all-in-one the-series # squash 17 commits $ git reset --soft HEAD~17 $ git commit Now you have a new branch 'all-in-one' that has the same contents as the original series 'the-series', but with only one commit: $ git diff the-series..all-in-one # must show no differences -- Hannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
