Change `pick` to `squash` (or `fixup`) for last four and update the commit message in the editor, then `git push --force origin super-feature`.
## (Recovering from bad squashes)
Hopefully you did not do anything wrong, then you don't need to read this section :) If you did something wrong and you end up with lots of commits you don't recognize. Don't panic:
1. Find your _last_ commit sha/id before you did squashing (e.g. 'abcde123'). The pull request github page will help you with that in the list of the commits (or diff comments). And then just run:
```
git commit -B super-feature abcde123
```
2. Or, you can just cherry-pick your commits and up-to-date upstream master (e.g. you see 'abcdef123' and 'defghi567' as you commits):
```
# fetches the current upstream repository
git fetch upstream
# reset your branch to upstream master
git checkout -B super-feature upstream/master
# cherry-pick only your commits and resolve conflicts
git cherry-pick abcdef123
git cherry-pick defghi567
# optionally rebase can be run, in this case git rebase -i HEAD~2
```
And repeat squashing.
