git rebase after previous git merge

git merge --squash is now my preferred way of rebasing after a large amount of work and many merges (see this answer). If the branch you’re working on is called my-branch and you want to rebase from main then just do the following:

git checkout my-branch
git branch -m my-branch-old
git checkout main
git checkout -b my-branch
git merge --squash my-branch-old
git commit
