You can cleanup your commits with a git rebase -i HEAD~<NUMBER-OF-COMMITTS>

Squash them accordingly... etc... it's an easy operation.

Complementing what I said earlier... Many committs are ok.. as long as
they are semantically correct... Intermediate committs that you did
along your day should be cleaned up and squashed. that makes reviewing
a lot easier.


Even if you are committing directly upstream (you still have that
right as a committer) I would ask you to review your committs before
pushing. We like to have the github PRs as a peer review tool.. and
quite honestly it has stopped even myself from doing damage before. I
like PRs just because of that.
