| Squash against another branch | g rbi <branch> | git rebase -i HEAD~$(git rev-list --count ${1}..); |
| Force push your branch | ggfl | git push --force-with-lease origin $current_branch |
[#1] rbi = "!f() { git rebase -i HEAD~$(git rev-list --count master..); }; f"
[#2] rbi = "!f() { git rebase -i HEAD~$(git rev-list --count ${1}..); }; f"
[#2] $Y is displayed in GitLab at the top, where it says Overview: X, Commits: Y, Pipelines: Z, ... . The number you want is Y.
