How to merge branches without saving commit history?

Question

git

There is a local repository with two branches master and dev. Master has one "init" commit, dev has the current state.

Once I'm done developing, I'll create a remote repository and add it. I used a fast-forward merge, but the commit history is preserved and the dev branch is deleted.

I need to save the history of the dev branch, but when merging, do not transfer the history of the branch to master

Answer 1

git checkout master
git merge --squash dev
git commit
