Intellij "before commit" options meaning

I cannot find the documentation about the several options (checkboxes) that are visible when commiting.

commit options

I'm looking for an option to squash all commits from the IDE, and I'm wondering if one of these options couldn't help me to do that. Is there any official documentation about the different options?
