How to squash commits from previous pushes to pull request?

Question

When I type git log, I only get the last 4 commits which came after my last push. I can squash these but the problem is that I have had multiple pushes for this pull request, each with multiple commits. I need to somehow access all of these commits and squash them into one commit. This is on BitBucket but I would prefer the terminal commands.

Answer 1

You could squash all commits of a PR branch, then force push that branch.

But:

You can squash when merging your PR. That avoids having to do any local operation.

That feature is available on:

• GitHub since 2016
• BitBucket since 2017
