If you want to disable multiple commits in Git, you can squash them into a single commit before pushing your changes. Here are the steps to do that:

  1. Use the following command to see the commit history:
1
git log


  1. Find the commits that you want to squash together. Note down the commit hashes.
  2. Use the following command to squash the commits into a single commit:
1
git rebase -i HEAD~<number of commits to squash>


For example, if you want to squash the last 3 commits, use:

1
git rebase -i HEAD~3


  1. This will open a text editor with a list of the commits that you want to squash. Change "pick" to "squash" for all but the first commit in the list. Save and close the editor.
  2. This will combine the commits into a single commit. You may be prompted to enter a new commit message for the merged commit.
  3. Once you have squashed the commits, you can push the changes to the remote repository:
1
git push origin <branch-name> --force


Note: Be careful when using the --force flag as it overwrites the commit history on the remote repository. Make sure you have the necessary permissions and communicate with your team before force pushing.
