How is the final commit message formatted?

It follows the GitHub PR squash style: a main title provided by the user, followed by a bulleted list of every individual commit message included in the squash, ordered from oldest to newest.

Can I choose which commits to squash?

Yes, you can either squash all commits that are ahead of your base branch (like main) or specify a specific number of recent commits to squash (e.g., the last 3 commits).

Can I squash commits on my main or production branches?

No, the skill includes a safety check that prevents it from running on protected branches such as main, master, or develop to prevent accidental data loss.

Does this skill automatically push my changes to the remote repository?

No, the skill performs the squash and commit locally for safety. It provides the necessary push command (usually git push --force-with-lease) for you to execute manually when ready.
