+#### Squash your commits to a single commit
+
+To keep the history of the project clean, you should make one commit per pull request.
+If you already have multiple commits, you can add the commits together (squash them) with the following commands in Git Bash:
+
+1. Open `Git Bash` (or `Git Shell`)
+2. Enter following command to squash the recent {N} commits: `git reset --soft HEAD~{N} && git commit` (replace `{N}` with the number of commits you want to squash)
+3. Press <kbd>i</kbd> to get into Insert-mode
+4. Enter the commit message of the new commit (and add the [signature](#sign-your-work) at the and)
+5. After adding the message, press <kbd>ESC</kbd> to get out of the Insert-mode
+6. Write `:wq` and press <kbd>Enter</kbd> to save the new message or write `:q!` to discard your changes
+7. Enter `git push --force` to push the new commit to the remote repository
+
+For example, if you want to squash the last 5 commits, use `git reset --soft HEAD~5 && git commit`

 ### Don't mix code changes with whitespace cleanup
 
 If you change two lines of code and correct 200 lines of whitespace issues in a file the diff on that pull request is functionally unreadable and will be **rejected**. Whitespace cleanups need to be in their own pull request.
