I'm referring to the squash feature of git rebase. The developer collapsed years of commits into one before pushing to GitHub, I am wondering if there is a way to keep working on top of the original history privately, and pushing to the "clean" history on GitHub, without having to cherry-pick all new commits for GitHub by hand.
I guess the "easiest" solution would be a clean and separate "github" directory where no work happens and where you just cp all your changes from your actual working directory into.
If they version it, I could also imagine using master as an orphan branch and just cherry-pick the changes between two tags or commits into it.
