Learn Git Squash in 3 minutes // explained with live animations!

[@sheikh1906]

I've been a dev for 15 years, and I've never used squash. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@marcel5235]

you were my lifesaver at my first week in my first dev job.

[@hiyadmn9damy]

saaaame

[@marinaramarcato7615]

This is the second time I come back to this video. You saved me again, I almost had another heart attack! I must get better at this for my heart's sake xD

[@SaifUlIslam-di5xv]

Same!

[@miroslavvalkovic9144]

@Marcel Hello, how's your progress with dev job? and development general?

[@bolonabolona]

Great video!!. Just a note for newbies like me, @1:30 "Accessibility bug fix" is not the latest commit. @2:11 Jack is sqaushing the newer/latest commits (Number 2 & 3) into an older commit "Accessibility bug fix" (Number 1).

[@AbhishekKumar-sf6no]

Yes rightly pointed out

[@joesilva-rodriguez9]

Love how you don't skip out on the VIM commands.

[@irfanfauzi8704]

I used to have a headache when try to clean the commit but your vids make it soo much clearer

[@matk2283]

Never used git squash. heard about it. you make it so simple. always thought how can I combine my commits. and here it is "git squash". splendid short clip on "git squash" that made my life much easier. GRATITUDE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mathew. K from Colorado

[@blairnicolle2218]

Terrific short video. Clear animation. Clear narrative. Great job!

[@fragsman]

It was the best video out there. Simply awesome.

[@SethBowers-lc8cg]

Every tech tutorial should have this exact level of detail and conciseness. Bravo!

[@AnthonyJackman]

Having the 'timeline and branch' displayed at the same time you are showing command line interactions is awesome. I am no longer lost!

[@vishuboydreams]

your work is cleaner and concise and actually practical and related to work. thanks for creating practical tuts. hoping to see some more stuuff from you. peace out.

[@themoderncoder]

Thanks Vishal, I'm hoping to get back to posting videos very soon

[@mazedar_tv]

@@themoderncoder ya agree, I do like the animation works in video

[@terryone4768]

I think it was important to mention that if you want to push your modification in a repo, you must use force push.

[@majorgear1021]

details, details!

[@dorianjames1280]

thanks!

[@andresalvarez7303]

Was just wonderin that part lol

[@Shakib.Siddiqui]

Thanks man..........for this comment

[@arsnakehert]

Thank you for keeping it short and not making a 10 minute video out of this to please the gods And thank you for the clear explanation, too

[@sheerun]

You can use tool I've written for squashing all commits on a branch: github.com/sheerun/git-squash (just like GitHub's squash and merge)

[@TheCaysed]

Nice job! Finally I've founded understandable tutorials for git workflow.

[@kaustubhtrivedi5403]

Really liked how clean the video was

[@Hendrixski]

I was a dev for over a decade. And it's only now that I'm a software manager that I actually had to learn how to squash my commits. LOL Thanks for the tutorial.

[@themoderncoder]

Nice - that was my career progression too: from SDE to dev manager. Glad I could help.

[@starman9000]

Mate you are spot on the topic! so many other tutorial on your tube make confuse with other stuff! I liked the way you explained! I know now how to Squash! Thank you

[@adityatyagi4240]

Cannot thank you enough for all the efforts and time you are investing. One of the best programming tutorials. Cheers!

[@themoderncoder]

Thanks to your feedback on this video and my rebasing video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGLan4yagaqjnas ), I created another video in the same style that goes in depth about other ways you can manipulate git history - including amending, rewording, deleting, reordering and splitting commits - kzbin.info/www/bejne/e521q4erjtGhZq8. Check it out if you enjoyed this video, I think you'll find a lot of value there!

[@Chiramisudo]

First link is broken. :(

[@themoderncoder]

@@Chiramisudo Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out

[@shangshi6286]

best squash video on youtube. thank you very much! the graph combine with the command line is a true life saver!

[@kylebennett3038]

This was a great combo of code and visuals (that update the same time as the code)! Keep up the good work and teach a master class on this!

[@mrvn1243]

Best explanation and example of this feature that I have seen. Excellent

[@MarkTheBard]

wow, that was the most comprehensive squash tutorial I have seen, made my life a lot easier, liked and sub'd. Thank you so much!

[@themoderncoder]

That’s awesome, glad it helped - and thanks for the comment. It’s motivating me to make more videos!

[@gregorytippett9692]

Extremely clear, focused, well produced and easy to follow. Nice work. Great kitchen too!

[@ruixue6955]

0:41 example demo 1:20 git rebase -i HEAD~3 1:56 squash 2:05 meaning: going to take the last 2 commits and melt them into the first commit 3:04

[@mazedar_tv]

In case u want create PR then also needs to do git push -f

[@tobyzieglerrr]

Best one i found on this subject, love the animation and presentation! Great, Thx!

[@tablamihai]

The best and simple explanation of squash !! Congrats.

[@carcass09]

Just a tip about all your videos: when trying to help people with vim, saying 'ESC : W Q' and printing these uppercase characters on screen could confuse some people as it is necessary that they are lowercase!

[@nikhil182]

I need this type of explanation. On point 💯no unnecessay info. Thank you!!

[@k4f]

Love how you explain stuff. The production value of your videos is fantastic!

[@sportzone_]

Very short and effective. Thank you !

[@stevie_wanders]

Thanks you for explaining each and every step and not just assuming I know how to use vim like other tutorials seem to do. Even though I do, it really helps to be able to follow exactly what you are doing.

[@amitrastogi1405]

Excellent one and upto the point. I was looking for squashing my commits and this helped. Thanks!

[@alexandersemigrodskikh8400]

I liked how you got rid of the messages of the old commits by commenting them out. I typically delete them.

[@themoderncoder]

Yeah. If your squashing a lot of tiny commits that are part of a larger feature you can generally get away with summarizing them all with a single commit message.

[@haseebshahid3581]

This is great explanation. REBASE VS MERGE are the horror stories of software engineers.

[@joeygarcia7826]

I like that he is talking about squash in the kitchen. :-)

[@pawekoaczynski4505]

This is how Git tutorials should be done. Show exactly how the tree looks like at each step, so students can better understand what is going on

[@divyanshubhatnagar4601]

You have the skills to teach! Please continue doing it.. waiting for some more vids from you!

[@themoderncoder]

Thank you for the nice comment. I’ve been quite busy at work for the past year but hoping to get back at it

[@divyanshubhatnagar4601]

@@themoderncoder Hope to see you back soon!

[@stephenwood4814]

An extremely lucid explanation. Bravo.

[@yugabro]

I really liked this guys way of explaining. You just earned a subscriber pal.

[@ArduinoHocam]

Your Git tutorials are just neat and simple. Thanks for the effort! Quite useful.

[@themoderncoder]

Appreciate the encouragement - they tend to take a lot of time to make but I really do think they're the best.

[@dennisjohn2115]

best explanation on the Internet! Thank you

[@nmaajidkhan]

You are the Absolute Best!! I am gonna watch all your videos, Top stuff!!!!

[@llothar68]

Thanks a lot, that was exactly what i need. I do desktop apps (with native GUI frameworks) and need to always test on all platforms and i'm using git as a file sync tool, so i have lots of commits.in my branch just for that purpose. Now i need a to write a little script that will automatically squash all empty commit messages into the last one with a message. Nice.

[@nicknguyen1679]

straight to the point, no bull shit. Love it.

[@diegovelasquez2657]

Thank you for posting this video, very well explained and clear, you definitely saved my life trying to do my first squash on git bash.

[@twister222333]

thanks! always tricky to do stuff on git

[@imcrazyru1]

Excellent lesson! Thanks so much.

[@SupreetSinghsuppi]

THIS WAS A VERY GOOD VIDEO

[@slavoie]

Great content, thanks! Just be careful with Vim commands: they are case-sensitive. `:WQ` doesn't work in Vim, but `:wq` does. On doing the same thing, `ZZ` save and quit but `zz` centers the currently selected line on the screen. Similarly, `i` inserts at the current position, but `I` (uppercase i) inserts before the first character on the line. So it is worth it to show the correct mappings on the screen. Apart from that, it's fantastic info presented in a very approachable way. Keep on!

[@Hendrixski]

Also, instead of i to enter insert mode, he should have just used cw to change the word. Then he could have used a period to repeat the change across all the other lines.

[@tubingforever]

This is GOLD!

[@sy-hungdoan4859]

What he did in this video can be achieved by using "fixup" instead of "squash", it's like squash, but discards the commit messages of the squashed commits :D

[@АндрейСмольков]

Great stuff, man! Maximum info in a short piece of time!

[@SatyamSingh-vq4wy]
