In vi, press esc to exit edit mode and type :wq to save the file. Once we have correctly edited all the commits we want to combine, save the file. Alternatively, we could use 'squash' to combine the individual commit messages into the new commit message. Note that we use 'fixup' because we want to use one commit message for the combination of the commits. In vi, you can do so by pressing I.įor each of the commits we want to combine, replace 'pick' with 'fixup'. Switch to edit mode in the editor in the terminal. This will again open an editor in the terminal with the list of commits. If you have already run this command, you can press the up arrow ↑ in the terminal to show the last used command(s). In the terminal, type git rebase -i 34bb0f99 to start rebasing. Next, we want to combine multiple commits where we added the tests and implemented the new feature. Combining multiple commits into one commit We see in the Git log that the order of the commits has changed. Note: If you made changes to the file that you do not want to save, type :q! to force quit. Press esc to exit edit mode and type :wq to save the file. Once we're sure about the order, we need to save the file. Note: you do not need to switch to edit mode to do so.Move the cursor to the line where you want to reinsert this commit (in this example, the end of the file) and type p.

Place the cursor anywhere on the line you want to move (in this example the commit 'Unrelated changes') and remove this line by typing dd.

We can change the order of the lines by removing the commit we want to move from the list and inserting it in the place where we want it. In the editor in the terminal, switch to edit mode by pressing I to be able to edit this file. We can do so by changing the order of the lines (individual commits) to reflect the order we want. Let's say we want to change the order of the commits we want to keep the unrelated change, but separately from the changes for the new feature. If you haven't set one, it will fall back to the vi editor, which is what we will use in this tutorial. Each line in this file is an individual commit.īy default, Git will use whatever you have set as your default text editor. This will open an editor in the terminal with the list of commits that were done on top of the selected commit.

Open the Terminal window, using ⌥F12 on Mac (or Alt+F12 on Windows & Linux) and type git rebase -i 34bb0f99 (where 34bb0f99 is the commit hash we copied above). (Spoiler: the commit hash in this example is 34bb0f99.) In this example, that will be the last commit before we started adding the new feature.įind the commit hash for this commit in the ' Commit Details' to the right of the Git history in the Git window and copy this commit hash. In the Git history, identify the commit just before the commit from where you want to clean up your history.
