Clean Up Your Git History with Interactive Rebase
April 1, 2026
Ever look back at your commit history and see ten "fix typo" or "wip" messages in a row? It’s a bit messy for a pull request. You can use `git rebase -i HEAD~n` (where n is the number of commits) to open an interactive menu. From there, you can "squash" those tiny commits into one meaningful one. It keeps the project history clean and makes it much easier for your team to see what actually changed during code review.
