Squash commit Learn Git by Building an SQL Reference Object

Hi ,

I’ve encountered a problem when trying to squash a commit. Following the hints, I tried resetting and then entered git rebase --interactive HEAD~2.

The git-rebase-todo window appeared, and I replaced pick with s as shown below:
From
pick 0764e6f fix: add missing rename database reference
To
s 0764e6f fix: add missing rename database reference



Then, as instructed by the terminal hint, I closed the git-rebase-todo window. Subsequently, the COMMIT_EDITMSG window popped up, and I clicked the tick to close it.

However, despite these actions, the test still did not pass, and the hint indicated that I should use the “squash” option.
You should use the "squash" option

Below are the git log --oneline outputs before and after the attempt:

Notice the arrow. There is a problem. It means differently depending of the course.
Perhaps this might help.
