+ [2020-04-26T12:26:20Z] jhass sure. you can also just keep merging master into it
+ [2020-04-26T12:27:07Z] jhass that'll allow anybody else working on that branch to just merge it

On a github repo, is there a way of winding back to a specific point and truncating at that point? (i.e. I want to full-out rewind to a specific commit) and drop the later commit
+ [2020-04-27T19:35:30Z] fragtion Hope someone can help. I forked a repo on github and have made some changes over time to master branch. I regularly pull/merge from author's repo to keep my fork up to date. I'm now over 50 commits ahead of the author's repo even though I've only made a few changes to my fork. I want to reduce all of those those "commits" into a single one of my changes, without recreating my whole fork.
+ [2020-04-27T19:36:06Z] fragtion I've tried squash HEAD~50 but I keep getting conflicts, or "tip of your current branch is behind" error, etc
+ [2020-04-27T19:37:24Z] jhass I mean, why bother?
+ [2020-04-27T19:37:31Z] fragtion Is there any way to reset the fork to author's code and then push only my changes, consolidated together as a single commit ahead of the author's ?
+ [2020-04-27T19:37:59Z] fragtion It just looks pretty dumb to have so many commits for a few changes I made early on to the code :/
