    Bonus points for readability.


    So each pull request, we have a shedload of commits. Id like to just have 1 overall commit with the difference between HEAD and this


    I'm aware of commit --amend but this isn't an option (long story). Any idears?

    Can’t you just view the diff of all commits?

    Anyway, you could soft reset the last N commits and then add and commit all the changes.

    Or interactive rebase let’s you do something similar.

    Problem is, this rewrites history so only really do this locally.

    If all commits for a pull request are on a branch e.g. bugfix/abc or feature/abc then you can do a git merge -squash onto master which will create one commit? Bitbucket has that feature when merging pull requests and I assume GitHub and gitlab have similar?
