As far as I am aware, this will not work for merge commits.

Although it's not commented by any others, this even works for commits which are not at the HEAD. For instance, my need was to squash some WIP commits I did with a more sane description before pushing. Worked beautifully. Of course, I still hope I can learn how to do it by commands.

This is superb! Everything will be done by just couple of mouse clicks and I could merge 200 commits of old repo before archiving! Thanks. Really useful to make branch tree clean and easily review code changes at once.

You can similarly select n commits and squash them via GUI of GitHub Desktop desktop.github.com

WebStorm also has a "Squash commits" option if you select 2+ commits and right click.
