Git::CP...::Squash(3)

💖 NAME 💖

Git::CPAN::Patch::Command::Squash — bestie, this is the one that takes a whole pile of commits and squishes them into one (1) single patch ✨

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.5.0

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

% git-cpan squash temp_submit_branch

% git commit -m "This is my message"

% git-cpan send-patch --compose

# delete the branch now that we're done
% git checkout master
% git branch -D temp_submit_branch

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this command makes a brand new branch off cpan/master, and then it runs git merge --squash against your head revision. the way it does that? iconic. 💅

that stages all the files for the branch, which is literally the whole point: it lets you make one (1) combined commit so you can send off a single patch, easy peasy, no cap 🫶

so instead of yeeting a chaotic little swarm of commits at the maintainers, you show up with one clean, main-character patch. obsessed.
