Squashing commits is a common Git operation that combines multiple commits into a single, cleaner commit. This is crucial for keeping your branch history tidy before merging into a main branch (like main or master), making the project history easier to read and revert [1].

The primary tool for squashing commits is interactive rebase (git rebase -i).

Conventional Commits is a lightweight convention on top of commit messages. It provides an easy set of rules for creating an explicit commit history, which makes it easier for automated tools to parse and for humans to understand (1).
