Squashing the commits in a Pull Request

If you're asked to squash (all) the commits in your Pull Request, please follow the steps below:

1. Checkout the branch you used for submitting the original Pull Request (your-PR-branch):

git checkout your-PR-branch

2. (Optional) Synchronize your branch with your remote if maintainers made changes to your Pull Request:

git pull your-fork your-PR-branch

If changes made by maintainers were complex, fetch your remote first and then do a hard-reset:

git fetch your-remote
git reset --hard your-remote/your-PR-branch

3. Do a soft-reset to the beginning of the branch:

git reset --soft $(git merge-base gh-pages your-PR-branch)

4. Create a new commit:

git commit -m "Your message"

5. Push the changes to your fork:

git push --force your-fork
