within current branch, squashes all commits that are ahead of master down into one

useful if you merged with upstream in the middle of your commits (rebase could get very ugly if this is the case)

commit any working changes on branch "mybranchname", then...

git checkout master
git checkout -b mybranchname_temp
git merge --squash mybranchname
git commit -am "Message describing all squashed commits"
git branch -m mybranchname mybranchname_unsquashed
git branch -m mybranchname

optional, not recommended if you want to keep the unsquashed history around for a bit longer

git branch -D mybranchname_unsquashed

if squashing already-pushed commits...

git push --force

git push --force <- If git complains about fatal: The current branch $BRANCHNAME has no upstream branch. Do git push --set-upstream origin $BRANCHNAME.
Instead do: git push --set-upstream origin $BRANCHNAME --force.
