I have created from master branch a development branch. I keep the master branch regularly uptodate from the server and in the development branch i commit my code. When i merge the two branches i obtain a commit with two parents and when i push my master branch to the server, all my development history it is also saved in the server. Can i avoid saving my develoment history, at least on the server, so that the master branch has only one parent commits? Thanks Luca Siciliano ``` ## Santi Béjar, 2008-12-10 12:43 Subject: Re: Unneeded branch history Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/adf1fd3d0812100443v23c539d6q66049af911c90d49%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <50628.127.0.0.1.1228907607.squirrel@localhost> ``` 2008/12/10 Luca Siciliano Viglieri : > Hi, > i have tried to find a solution to my problem, but i couldn't find > anything on the documentation. > I have created from master branch a development branch.
