To combine all git commits into a single one, you can follow these steps:

  1. Identify the number of commits you want to combine: You should know the range of commits that you want to combine to a single one.

  2. Use the interactive rebase command: Execute the command "git rebase -i HEAD~N", where N represents the number of commits you identified in step 1.

  3. Edit the list of commits: When you run the previous command, it will show you the list of all the commits in the specified range. You need to change the word "pick" to "squash" for all the commits except the first commit. Save the file and close it.

  4. Combine the commits: Once you save the file, the editor will close, and Git will start merging the commits into the first one. It will open another editor, where you can provide the final commit message for the combined commit.

  5. Push the changes: Once you are done with the above steps, you can push the changes using the command "git push -f".

That's it! Now, all the commits in the specified range will be combined to a single one. Please note that this process should be used with caution and only for the commits that do not have any changes that conflict with each other.
