About This Skill
What it does
The git-squash skill allows an AI agent to combine multiple Git commits into a single commit. This is useful for cleaning up messy or incremental changes before merging branches, creating a more readable and understandable project history. It simplifies the commit history by consolidating related work into one logical unit.
When to use it
- Before merging a feature branch: Consolidate several small commits into a single, well-described commit that represents the complete feature.
- Cleaning up experimental code: Combine multiple "work in progress" commits into a cohesive final state.
- Simplifying complex histories: Reduce noise and improve clarity when reviewing or debugging past changes.
- Preparing for releases: Create a clean, linear commit history before tagging a release version.
Key capabilities
- Combines specified Git commits.
- Creates a new commit with the combined changes.
- Preserves original commit messages (can be modified).
Example prompts
- "Squash the last three commits into a single commit titled 'Fix: Issue #123'."
- "Combine all commits on this branch since tag 'v1.0' into one commit."
- “Can you squash these commits and make the new message explain the overall change?”
Tips & gotchas
- Requires basic Git knowledge to understand the implications of squashing commits.
- Squashed commits rewrite history, so avoid squashing commits that have already been pushed to a shared repository.
