So I've just learned that git rebase -i allows users to merge individual commits in the middle of a branch's history. For that,

$ git rebase -i

This should bring a list of all commits in reverse order, similar to the one listed below:

pick 2361d4d implements something
pick a700451 fixes a bug
pick 79f9d04 fixes a bug again
pick 3172f07 implements some other thing

# Rebase 484d6d2..3172f07 onto 484d6d2 (4 commands)
#
# Commands:
# p, pick  = use commit
# r, reword  = use commit, but edit the commit message
# e, edit  = use commit, but stop for amending
# s, squash  = use commit, but meld into previous commit
# f, fixup [-C | -c]  = like "squash" but keep only the previous
#                    commit's log message, unless -C is used, in which case
#                    keep only this commit's message; -c is same as -C but
#                    opens the editor
# x, exec  = run command (the rest of the line) using shell
# b, break = stop here (continue rebase later with 'git rebase --continue')
# d, drop  = remove commit
# l, label  = label current HEAD with a name
# t, reset  = reset HEAD to a label
# m, merge [-C  | -c ]  [# ]

It's possible to merge commit 79f9d04 with a700451 by updating the list of commands to set squash instead of pick in the commit you want to flatten onto the previous one, such as:

pick 2361d4d implements something
pick a700451 fixes a bug
squash 79f9d04 fixes a bug again
pick 3172f07 implements some other thing

(...)

Once we save the commit, Git opens an editor to rework the new commit message for the squashed commits, and you're set.

Hello,

I have only ever used git in very very basic way: commit, branch, merge request, that's pretty much it.

I have a use case where I pull the repository locally, branch (let's call it branch1), write some code, test it, commit, then create a merge request to master branch.

The merge request takes some time to be approved. During that time I would like to add more edits on top of those I submitted in the merge request. What would be the correct steps here?

Our team has three seniors. We have 3 juniors and more coming up.

We want to have some set of organization in our git repos. I want the three of us to be required reviewers for the team repos, but we three should be able to merge pull requests for our codes without having to get it code reviewed by the other two.

I tried setting up a codeowners file in github with our team admin group as the codeowner, but it is making me unable to merge PRs for my code without the other two reviewing it. I can add our individual handles as code owners, but that would mean I would need to update every individual repo if we get a new admin or one of us goes away.

What is the best way to achieve what I’m looking for? Please advise.
