How to remove local commits history from what you push to origin in GIT?

Question

I'm new to Git,

I do development on a local host and do frequent commits, however, I don't want all this commit history to be shown when I push to origin. How to I achieve that?

You can rebase and squash your commits.

I don't internals of git but following works for me.

git reset --hard <SHA of commit one commit before your first local commit > ( If commit order is RA-B-C if B and C are local commits RA is SHA you have to give) 

git merge --squash ORIG_HEAD

git commit

It will be great if someone can explain this.
