Moves local commits from the `master` branch to a new branch.
|
|
|
|
- Use `git branch <branch>` to create a new branch at the tip of the current `master`.
|
|
- Use `git reset HEAD~<n> --hard` to rewind back `<n>` commits and discard changes.
|
|
- Use `git checkout <branch>` to switch to the new branch.
|
|
- Only works if the changes have only been committed locally and not pushed to the remote.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git branch <branch>
|
|
git reset HEAD~<n> --hard
|
|
git checkout <branch>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git checkout master
|
|
git add .
|
|
git commit -m "Fix network bug"
|
|
git branch patch-1
|
|
# `patch-1` branch is created containing the commit "Fix network bug"
|
|
git reset HEAD~1 --hard # Remove the commit from `master`
|
|
git checkout patch-1
|
|
```
