[Feature request] “Squash commits and push” option (clean GitHub history)

[xalva98]

Hi XPipe team 👋

I’d love an option in XPipe to squash multiple local commits into a single commit before pushing to GitHub when using it as your storage.

Why this would help

When I’m actively working with XPipe, I often produce many small commits in a short time (WIP, tiny fixes, refactors, formatting, etc.). This is normal during iteration, but it makes the GitHub history look noisy and a bit “weird” compared to having one clean, meaningful commit per change-set.

What I’m looking for (high level)

• A simple, user-friendly way to turn many local commits into one before pushing

Benefit

This would make it much easier to keep a clean, readable repository history without having to constantly switch tools just to tidy up commits.
Potentially less network traffic for github.

Also: Some people care about their "contribution" number. You might not but some people do, and if you use xpipe and add a bunch of server you easily "screw" up that statistic cause it just makes 100 commits & pushes.

Other than that: This software is a blessing to use - I'll tell all of my friends about it that might use it!

I will look into whether this is possible to implement somehow

Thinking about this, there are a few considerations. If commits are squashed, that depends on some timeframe as xpipe does not know how many changes you make in the future. So I think this would involve specifying an interval in the settings menu on how long it should wait before pushing

For my use case (being just me, no team yet) just pushing on exit would do the trick (and maybe some interval you set in settings as you suggested). I'm not sure how xPipe works for teams so I can't really give an opinion on this but I think for teams it is probably beneficial to keep it as is because that is most "synchronized" so to say
