  • Squashing

    The s “squash” command is where we see the true utility of rebase. Squash allows you to specify which commits you want to merge into the previous commits. This is what enables a “clean history.” During rebase playback, Git will execute the specified rebase command for each commit. In the case of squash commits, Git will open your configured text editor and prompt to combine the specified commit messages. This entire process can be visualized as follows:

    Note that the commits modified with a rebase command have a different ID than either of the original commits. Commits marked with pick will have a new ID if the previous commits have been rewritten.

    You can also amend for a softer approach, which works better if you don’t push to remote after every commit.

    The git commit --amend command is a convenient way to modify the most recent commit. It lets you combine staged changes with the previous commit instead of creating an entirely new commit. It can also be used to simply edit the previous commit message without changing its snapshot. But, amending does not just alter the most recent commit, it replaces it entirely, meaning the amended commit will be a new entity with its own ref. To Git, it will look like a brand new commit, which is visualized with an asterisk (*) in the diagram below.

    You can keep amending commits and creating more chunky and meaningful ones in an incremental way. Think of it as converting baby steps into an adult step.












  • Right-click on the Sound icon, then Sound Settings.

    You get to: System > Sound

    You can do stuff directly in the first panel, but scroll down:

    System > Sound > All Sound Devices

    Find your Display there, it could look like:

    Click on it.

    The first option in the detail view is to toggle it as a sound “output” device:

    The options are “Allow” or “Don’t allow”. Once it’s blocked, it’s no longer in the list of options for switching easily between sound output devices (automatically or manually).
