Create a Branch from a Commit
Published: March 8, 2020
Let's say you have committed some changes, but you want to continue from a previous commit without deleting your commits from the branch because you might want to go back.
- List recent commits to find the one you want to branch from. You can change the number 3 to how many commits you want to go back.
bash
git log -3
- Copy the commit hash (looks something like this:
5eb92c63c960036a9cb52aaa98b916ce9ca86979
) - Add your branch name and commit hash to the next step
bash
git checkout -b my-branch-name 5eb92c63c960036a9cb52aaa98b916ce9ca86979
