So this is just "change the word at the beginning of the line to squash"? All of the commands can be replaced by one-character aliases, so I just use "cws<esc>" to like, "change to squash". What is proving these (much longer and less general) commands like ":Squash<enter>"?

Sure, you could do that, but if you're going down the list making changes to 12 lines, it's much easier just to say something like \fj\ejj\sj\sj\fjjj\e instead of ciwfixup<esc>jciwedit<esc>jjciwsquash<esc>jciwsquash<esc>jciwfixup<esc>jjjciwedit<esc>

You know, I have these too and I'm not sure. I can't find "Squash" or "Fixup" in my vim init directory. And yet, when I `vim -u NONE`, they don't exist...

They're defined in ftplugin/gitrebase.vim in the vim runtime files.
