Make a clean git history?

[nileshpatra]

Currently the git history seems very cluttered, making it difficult to keep a track of changes.
For example ; this, this, this et. al.

IMO, smaller changes can be squashed to get a sane git history.

Thank you for the feedback! I will improve my commits.

Future commits will be squashed before the PR.

@xandao6 why was the issue closed?
I think I wasn't clear, apologies.
What I mean was: we can squash some of the unrelated previous commits which you or other authors have made, and force-push?

There are ~300 commits for ~500 lines of code, which doesn't look good.

Hey, I would like to work on this issue. Can I be assigned this issue?

[nileshpatra]

@Pihu1998 it's probably on us, instead of participants.
We need to squash + force-push, and force-push would mean maintainer access to the repository.

A PR can only update the repository by placing commits on top, and not change the order of commits set earlier.

[Pihu1998]

Oh, I get it now. Thanks for the information. :D
