Accepting Boolean Value in Params in Django (Python)

There are cases in which we have to receive a boolean value in params to fill up an object. I have came through an idea of doing this, following utility method will help you doing this:

def str2bool(value):
    """
    convert string to bool
    """
    if value:
        return value.lower() in ("true",)
 else:

Getting the code as it is from the remote

Ideal way to do this is to not use pull at all, but instead fetch and reset. You can see in the example below:

git fetch origin master
git reset --hard FETCH_HEAD
git clean -df

Squash & Merge your Commits for Pull Requests

The method mentioned below only allows you to squash the last X consecutive commits into a single commit. Also, if you have merged master into your branch along the way, you will have to manually merge your new (squashed) commit into master and resolve the merge conflicts.

Combining the commits (Method 1)

To squash the last 3 commits into one:

git reset --soft HEAD~3
git commit -m "New message for the combined commit"
