Time to push both branches (with -force if needed, i.e. The first step is to take a note of the commit id of the commit you want to make the head of the new branch. There is more margin for error with this one. Have a look with git status before you commit to check. Then create a new branch and check it out in one go and add and commit your changes again.īe careful with the add -A though as you may be adding unrelated uncommitted files and directories. Then undo the commits with git reset HEAD~Nwhere “N” is the number of commits you want to undo. Use git log to check how many commits you want to roll back. Make sure you are on the branch to which you have been committing. However, it means that all your commits are passed over to the new branch – though of course you should check your results before pushing up to your central repo, as it is slightly easier to get wrong. The second solution is a little more involved.
