From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The only stuff I need, that should be easier

  • commit all changes
  • commit to other branch
  • squash all commits to one
  • configure a ssh key per user (especially when using different accounts, different username etc)

Commit -a isn't easy?

Squashing is easy too, though no, there isn't a "squash all" option, unless you're working in a feature branch and check out master and git merge --squash branch: https://graphite.dev/guides/git-merge-squash

I'm sure there's a way to commit to another branch without having it checked out, but that just sounds like a recipe for trouble.

And I have no idea how you'd manage to not have different ssh keys per user. You shouldn't be reusing keys across accounts to begin with.

commit to other branch

'cherrypick'
