这个答案改进了上面的几个(请投票)，假设除了创建一个提交(no-parents - no-history)，你还想保留该提交的所有提交数据:

作者(姓名及邮箱) 撰写日期 提交人(姓名及邮箱) 提交日期 提交日志消息

当然，新的/single提交的commit- sha会改变，因为它代表了一个新的(非)历史，变成了一个无父/根提交。

这可以通过读取git日志并为git提交树设置一些变量来实现。假设你想在一个新的分支one-commit中从master创建一个单独的提交，保留上面的commit-data:

git checkout -b one-commit master ## create new branch to reset
git reset --hard \
$(eval "$(git log master -n1 --format='\
COMMIT_MESSAGE="%B" \
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="%an" \
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="%ae" \
GIT_AUTHOR_DATE="%ad" \
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="%cn" \
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="%ce" \
GIT_COMMITTER_DATE="%cd"')" 'git commit-tree master^{tree} <<COMMITMESSAGE
$COMMIT_MESSAGE
COMMITMESSAGE
')

首先，使用git rebase -interactive将所有提交压缩成一个提交。现在就剩下两个壁球提交了。要做到这一点，请阅读任何一本

如何合并Git存储库的前两次提交? Git:如何压缩前两次提交?

一个衬套

你可以直接从HEAD创建一个squash-all commit，完全不需要rebase，只需要运行:

git reset $(git commit-tree HEAD^{tree} -m "A new start")

在~/.gitconfig中创建别名

[alias]
  squash-all = "!f(){ git reset $(git commit-tree HEAD^{tree} \"$@\");};f"

然后只要运行:git squash-all -m“一个全新的开始”

注意:要么从标准输入提供提交消息，要么通过-m/-F选项，就像git commit命令一样。参见git-commit-tree手册。

或者，您也可以使用以下命令创建别名:

git config --global alias.squash-all '!f(){ git reset $(git commit-tree HEAD^{tree} "$@");};f'

解释

create a single commit via git commit-tree What git commit-tree HEAD^{tree} -m "A new start" does is: Creates a new commit object based on the provided tree object and emits the new commit object id on stdout. The log message is read from the standard input, unless -m or -F options are given. The expression HEAD^{tree} represents the tree object corresponding to HEAD, namely the tip of your current branch. see Tree-Objects and Commit-Objects. reset the current branch to the new commit Then git reset simply reset the current branch to the newly created commit object. This way, nothing in the workspace is touched, nor there's need for rebase/squash, which makes it really fast. And the time needed is irrelevant to the repository size or history depth.

变体:项目模板中的新回购

这对于在新项目中使用另一个存储库作为模板/原型/种子/框架创建“初始提交”非常有用。例如:

cd my-new-project
git init
git fetch --depth=1 -n https://github.com/toolbear/panda.git
git reset --hard $(git commit-tree FETCH_HEAD^{tree} -m "initial commit")

这避免了将模板回购作为远程(源或其他)添加，并将模板回购的历史记录折叠到初始提交中。

我通常是这样做的:

Make sure everything is committed, and write down the latest commit id in case something goes wrong, or create a separate branch as the backup Run git reset --soft `git rev-list --max-parents=0 --abbrev-commit HEAD` to reset your head to the first commit, but leave your index unchanged. All changes since the first commit will now appear ready to be committed. Run git commit --amend -m "initial commit" to amend your commit to the first commit and change the commit message, or if you want to keep the existing commit message, you can run git commit --amend --no-edit Run git push -f to force push your changes

也许最简单的方法是用工作副本的当前状态创建一个新的存储库。如果你想保留所有的提交消息，你可以先执行git log > original.log，然后在新的存储库中编辑你的初始提交消息:

rm -rf .git
git init
git add .
git commit

or

git log > original.log
# edit original.log as desired
rm -rf .git
git init
git add .
git commit -F original.log

用嫁接压扁

添加一个文件。git/info/grafts，把你想要成为根的提交散列放在那里

Git日志现在将从该提交开始

要让它“真实”运行git filter-branch
