+#### I want to combine only unpushed commits
+
+Sometimes you have several work in progress commits that you want to combine before you push them upstream. You don't want to accidentally combine any commits that have already been pushed upstream because someone else may have already made commits that reference them.

+(master)$ git rebase -i @{u}
