we will rebasing with main with interactive option git rebase main -i.

but first create a backup branch before doing this interactive rebase.

history of your commits will show up on your editor, you have options to do with commits and they are written below commits history.

# Rebase d9ade637a..663edf45b onto d9ade637a (7 commands)
#
# Commands:
# p, pick <commit> = use commit
# r, reword <commit> = use commit, but edit the commit message
# e, edit <commit> = use commit, but stop for amending
# s, squash <commit> = use commit, but meld into previous commit
# f, fixup [-C | -c] <commit> = like "squash" but keep only the previous
#                    commit's log message, unless -C is used, in which case
#                    keep only this commit's message; -c is same as -C but
#                    opens the editor
# x, exec <command> = run command (the rest of the line) using shell
# b, break = stop here (continue rebase later with 'git rebase --continue')
# d, drop <commit> = remove commit
# l, label <label> = label current HEAD with a name
# t, reset <label> = reset HEAD to a label
# m, merge [-C <commit> | -c <commit>] <label> [# <oneline>]
# .       create a merge commit using the original merge commit's
# .       message (or the oneline, if no original merge commit was
# .       specified); use -c <commit> to reword the commit message
#
# These lines can be re-ordered; they are executed from top to bottom.
#
# If you remove a line here THAT COMMIT WILL BE LOST.
#
# However, if you remove everything, the rebase will be aborted.
#

We want to squash commits named refactor(squash: meld commit with previous one), and we want to rename(reword) commit named Added add4.py, so will change pick option on our commits and type squash or s, reword or r

pick 132b89e0c Added add.py
pick 75556f15c Added add2.py
pick c9aae5771 Added add3.py
s 1db4d82e8 Refactor
r f6e7369d0 Added add4.py
s 122a02bf3 refactor
s 663edf45b refactor
...

and it will open windows for every change you made to rename commit's message.

  • first window to rename commit Added add3.py because we squashed the commit after it, and by default the message would be the original message of Added add3.py and messages of squashed commits, here i will not change anything i will leave message like that.
# This is a combination of 2 commits.
# This is the 1st commit message:

Added add3.py

# This is the commit message #2:

# Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting

  • third window will be the same as dirst one because of squashing two commits to commit:Added add4.py, i will leave it with out changing message.

This video by Naman Gera he was rebasing a branch.

Merging

by Gagandeep Singh from #783 comment

Assuming initial state is your current branch (say xyz_branch),

  1. git checkout main or git checkout master (whichever is being used in a certain project as the lead branch).
  2. git pull origin main (origin is the project remote say for lpython it will be pointing to (https://github.com/lcompilers/lpython).
  3. git checkout xyz_branch
  4. git merge main or git merge master
  5. git reset main or git reset master
  6. git add xyz_file
  7. Repeat step 6 until you are satisfied with the group of changes you want to commit.
  8. git commit -m "nice_commit_message" or git commit (and then write detailed commit message in the command line editor).
  9. Repeat 7 and 8 until all the changes are committed.
  10. git push -f your_remote xyz_branch.
