Understanding "git rebase" and "git commit amend"

This week in OSD600, we learned about how to clean up our git history.

We were first tasked with making a few improvement to our code base.

I chose to improve my program by:

1. Separate text file handling
2. Separte markdown file handling
3. Utilizing fs.rmSync() for deleting the /dist folder instead of my previous method (using readderSync to find contents of /dist folder, and then calling unlinkSync).

Using git rebase to "squash" all my commits into a single commit was definitely interesting. I didn't know this was a possibility, and in one of my Hacktoberfest PRs I actually have 10 commits for one feature upgrade - I plan on using git rebase to "squash" this down to 1 commit for cleanliness.

Then using git commit ammend to modify the commit message was also a neat feature, and the ability to quickly add something to the previous commit (as I have multiple times found things I've missed right when I've commited something).

These two are definitely features that I'll be using more often in the feature!
