STG-SQUASH(1)                 StGit Manual                 STG-SQUASH(1)

NAME top

       stg-squash - Squash two or more patches into one

SYNOPSIS top

       stg squash [options] [--] <patches>

DESCRIPTION top

       Squash two or more patches, creating one big patch that contains
       all their changes. In more detail:

        1. Pop all the given patches, plus any other patches on top of
           them.

        2. Push the given patches in the order they were given on the
           command line.

        3. Squash the given patches into one big patch.

        4. Allow the user to edit the commit message of the new patch
           interactively.

        5. Push the other patches that were popped in step (1).

       Conflicts can occur whenever we push a patch; that is, in step
       (2) and (5). If there are conflicts, the command will stop so
       that you can resolve them.

OPTIONS top

       -n NAME, --name NAME
           Name of squashed patch.

       -m MESSAGE, --message MESSAGE
           Use MESSAGE instead of invoking the editor.

       -f FILE, --file FILE
           Use the contents of FILE instead of invoking the editor. (If
           FILE is "-", write to stdout.)

       --save-template FILE
           Instead of running the command, just write the message
           template to FILE, and exit. (If FILE is "-", write to
           stdout.)

           When driving StGit from another program, it is often useful
           to first call a command with --save-template, then let the
           user edit the message, and then call the same command with
           --file.

       --no-verify
           This option bypasses the commit-msg hook.
