This is for keeping your branch up to date and always having a PR / MR with only one commit.  It is helpful if you use Oh-My-Zsh.

!!! Squashing Your Branch

|| Description || Zsh || Git
| Checkout branch | {{{gco $branch_name}}} | {{{git checkout $branch_name}}}
| How many commits to squash | {{{git rev-list --count master..}}} | {{{git rev-list --count master..}}}
| Rebase your branch from HEAD[1] | {{{grbi HEAD~$Y}}} | {{{git rebase -i HEAD~$Y}}}
| Force push your branch | {{{ggfl}}} | {{{git push 
--force-with-lease 
origin $current_branch}}}

[#1] {{$Y}} is displayed in GitLab at the top, where it says ''Overview: X, Commits: Y, Pipelines: Z, ...'' . The number you want is Y.

!!! Update From Master

Time passes, commits get merged to master. You need to update your branch.

| Pull | {{{gl}}} | {{{git pull}}}
| Checkout branch | {{{gco $branch_name}}} | {{{git checkout $branch_name}}}

| Handle conflicts, test, etc.
| Force push {{{$current_branch}}} to remote | {{{ggfl}}} | {{{git push 
--force-with-lease 
origin $current_branch}}}
