Attempted to squash 70 commits using github desktop's squash feature. They became duplicated in my github history.

Following up- anyone have a solution?

To resolve this issue, you will need to force push your squashed commits to the remote repository. Here are the steps to do so:

1. Ensure your local branch has the correct history:

   • Open GitHub Desktop and verify that your local branch has the squashed commits.

2. Force push the local branch to the remote repository:

   • Open a terminal (you can do this from GitHub Desktop by selecting Repository > Open in Terminal).
   • Ensure you are on the correct branch by running:

git checkout <your-branch-name> ```

• Force push your local branch to the remote repository by running:

git push origin <your-branch-name> --force

This command will overwrite the remote branch with your local branch's history, including the squashed commits.

3. Verify the changes on GitHub:

   • After the force push, go to your repository on GitHub and verify that the commit history now reflects the squashed commits.

Please note that force pushing can overwrite commits on the remote repository, so ensure you have communicated with any collaborators before performing this action to avoid disrupting their work.

Hello, thank you for the response. I'm afraid that didn't solve the issue- in fact after squashing I did precisely that. Every squash and git push origin main --force resulted in more duplicate commits. I decided to just duplicate the repository and delete the original one to get rid of the commit history. Thank you, Yonatan
