A way to squash commits

not totally sure what the UI would look like for this one... thoughts?

Make it easy to squash commits, (like you would do in an interactive rebase) but provide a warning about the consequences.

[Ajedi32]

Drag one commit into another and then click "squash"?

[notslang]

and then just have a popup for the commit message of the resulting squashed commit?

... that sounds good, but I'm also thinking about squashing a range of commits - that would be really useful for me

[Ajedi32]

Drag to select multiple successive commits (or ctrl+click, or shift+click), then right click the selection and hit squash. That kind of functionality might be better as part of an interactive rebase feature though...

[notslang]

or just a general UI paradigm that could also be used for stuff like:

• seeing a diff of all selected commits
• cherry pick several commits

also, using the shift + arrow convention to select commits in order, and ctrl + click to select them separately would be nice

Drag one commit into another and then click "squash"? by @Ajedi32 is the best suggestion. Start simple and see where it goes from there.

Other git clients when doing a squash merge will simply call git merge --squash branch-name. That then leaves the git repo in an uncommitted state. They will then simply switch to the build in commit view and let the developer take it from there.

This would be a fantastic addition to ungit.
