Apply Only Top Commit from a Branch on Top of `main`.md

✅ Use Case: Apply Only Top Commit from a Branch on Top of main

🎯 Goal

From a feature branch, apply only the latest commit on top of the latest main branch — and discard all earlier commits in that branch.

---

📌 Assumptions

• Your feature branch is named: my-feature
• You want to keep only the most recent commit from my-feature
• You want it based on the latest origin/main

---

🧾 Steps

# 1. Check out your feature branch
git checkout my-feature

# 2. Reset the branch to match origin/main, but keep the latest commit's changes
git reset --soft origin/main

# 3. Re-commit the top commit changes on top of main
git commit -m "Your top commit message"

# (Optional) Verify the history
git log --oneline --graph --decorate
