How to merge with squash in Git

Question

Hi Guys,

I have two branches in my local Git repo. Now I want to merge these two branches. But I don't want to merge the logs as well.

I searched in google and find that git squash can be used. But I don't know how to use. Can anyone help me?

Hi@akhtar,

If you want to merge your data between branches, you can use git merge. But git merge will also copy the logs from another merge. But if you want only data you can use squash. Use the below given command

$ git merge --squash branch_name

Hope this will help.
