git-extensions

A collection of custom git commands.

Installation

Copy the scripts you want to a directory that is included in your $PATH (e.g. /usr/local/bin or ~/bin), then make them executable:

cp git-squash /usr/local/bin/
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/git-squash

To install all extensions at once:

cp git-* /usr/local/bin/
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/git-*

Once installed, git will automatically discover any executable named git-<command> on your PATH and expose it as git <command>.

Commands

git squash

Squash the last N non-merge commits into a single commit.

Merge commits within the range are included in the squash but are not counted toward N.

Usage

git squash <count> <message>

Argument	Description
count	Number of non-merge commits to squash (integer ≥ 1)
message	Commit message for the resulting squashed commit

Examples

# Squash the last 3 non-merge commits
git squash 3 "feat: add user authentication"

# Squash 10 commits of work-in-progress into one clean commit
git squash 10 "refactor: consolidate payment module rewrite"

Notes

• The working tree must be clean (no uncommitted changes) before running.
• Squashing past the root commit is not allowed.
