Combine commits

When to use it

You made a series of small commits — “wip”, “fix typo” — and want one meaningful commit before sharing the work.

Steps

1. In All Commits, click a commit, then Ctrl-click the neighbouring commits you want to include. They must be consecutive.
2. Right-click the selection and choose Combine 2 selected (the number matches your selection).
3. Enter the message for the combined commit.
4. Check the preview: the selected commits are crossed out and the new commit appears in their place.
5. Click Combine commits.

Good to know

• The files at the branch tip stay exactly the same; only the history changes.
• A private recovery point is created before anything is rewritten.
• The combined commit gets a new ID, and so does every commit after it.
• If the selected commits are already published, RepoBeam creates the combined result on a separate branch and leaves your current and remote branches unchanged.
