A good way to test this is to make use of the `git rebase` command,
to run your tests on each commit. Assuming your branch is based off
<code>origin/master</code>, you can run:
+</p>
<pre>
$ git rebase --interactive --exec "make check" origin/master
</pre>
+<p>
replacing <code>"make check"</code> with whatever other test you want to
run.
</p>
nomination request.
