I have a branch, mybranch, that has six commits and stems from commit C. I would like to create a new branch, also based on commit C, that effectively includes all the commits from mybranch, squashed into one commit. What's the easiest way to do this?
I need to do this due to the mantra of "squash before you git-push". For the new branch, I don't want any mention of mybranch in the history pushed up to the remote server. The reason I want to create a whole new branch used to push is because I'd like to keep all the commits in mybranch for reference.
