I have tried git rebase in interactive mode to squash commits. I have also tried git reset in soft mode, then made a single commit.
It seems to have changed my git log. But when I need to push to GitHub, It says could not push, I need to pull first due to divergent branches.
After pulling and then pushing, when I go to GitHub, I find that the number of commits has only increased.
How can I change the history on the commits page of a GitHub repo?
At this point
It says could not push, I need to pull first due to divergent branches.
you should do
git push -f
This will get you the desired result. Hopefully other contributors, if any, on whatever you are working on, don't mind if the commit history has changes.
