No, if the PR is sent from master branch then only we need to squash them in master branch. So the thing you should take care is use the branch where you were working from. You can read more this here.
You can use git rebase - i HEAD~n where n is the number of commits you want to squash from the latest commits you have done.

Seems like I overwrote the changes that I did here on Github.
Thank god before squashing I took backup :)

[ankit-saraf]

@vj-codes Pls review. I squashed all the commits.

Guides like this exist all over the internet.

My only concern with such guides: there is a very high chance that we forget something and we mislead the contributor into doing something else because we forgot about one little step.

I'd really love this to exist in sort of a meta-site, maybe documentation? But it makes no sense to be in vms.
