     - If more than one: ''%%git cherry-pick -s [BRANCHNAME]~[Number of commits]..[BRANCHNAME] --edit%%'' (for example, if you are bringing in two commits from the survey-docs branch, run ''%%git cherry-pick survey-docs~2..survey-docs) --edit%%''
       - The ''%%--edit%%'' flag will permit you to edit all commit messages as they come in.
+  - If you need to squash commits:
+    - From your local branch, enter ''git rebase -i HEAD~2'' (where 2 is the number of commits you wish to combine)
+    - Your text editor will open and should show both of the commits, for example:
+      - ''pick [COMMIT HASH 1] [COMMIT MESSAGE 1]''
+      - ''pick [COMMIT HASH 2] [COMMIT MESSAGE 2]''
+    - Change the word ''pick'' in the second line to ''fixup'' then save and close the file. This merges the commits and retains the first line's commit message.
+    - Check gitlog to ensure that you now have a single commit
   - Make any corrections (via additional commits, if needed)
   - Use ''git log'' to make sure everything looks good.
