Squash and Push

Utility script that squashes all commits since the merge-base with origin/develop into a single commit and pushes.

Usage

.\run-push.ps1

What It Does

1. Fetches all remotes and prunes stale references (git fetch --all --prune)
2. Checks that the working tree is clean (no uncommitted changes)
3. Finds the merge-base between HEAD and origin/develop
4. Counts commits since the merge-base — exits silently if there are none
5. Prompts for confirmation (Proceed? [y/N])
6. Prompts for a commit message
7. Squashes by soft-resetting to the merge-base (git reset --soft <merge-base>)
8. Commits with the provided message
9. Pushes to the remote

Interactive Prompts

The script requires two interactive inputs:

Prompt	Input	Default
Proceed? [y/N]	y or n	No (abort)
Message	Commit message text	Required (cannot be empty)

Exit Codes

Code	Meaning
0	Push completed successfully, or no commits to squash
1	Error (dirty working tree, no merge-base found, or Git operation failed)

Prerequisites

• Git
• Clean working tree (no uncommitted changes)
• A branch that shares history with origin/develop
