In a repository with squash-merge practice, can I go to the state of the repository in one of the squashed commits?

For the example below, I want to find commit m1 by checking out commit r1.

m1 - m2 ------- m3   <- master (r1, r2, and r3 are squashed into m3)
  \            
   r1 - r2 - r3  <- deleted branch

You can use git reflog --all. It lists all recent actions and related commit hashes. If you find the commit there, you can git checkout <commit_hash>.

Note: --all option is for listing reflogs of all references, not just the HEAD.

in git when you squash commits actually you are deleting them from the history, so, you don't have any chance to rollback (as I know) but try the following command :

git log

if you find your commit you can open it in temp branch by using this command :

git checkout COMMIT_HASH
