If what you want to do is make this: A-B-C-D-E into: A-BCD-E You can simply give this command: $ git rebase -i And then edit this: pick B pick C pick D pick E to read: pick B squash C squash D pick E If there are no conflicts, you are done. However, if you want to create ABCD-E (in other words if you want to include the first commit of the repository in the combined commit), forget this answer and have a look at the approved answer of the question you refer to.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
