Rebase a single Git commit
It's pretty simple to do actually. The solution is to do an interactive rebase and "drop" all of the commits you don't want to include in the rebase.
git rebase -i <target_branch>
where target_branch
is the branch you want to rebase on to
Then you will edit the file that is opened and pick
the commits you do want and drop
(or d
for short) all the commits you don't want to bring along.
git rebase --onto master branch~1 branch
This says "rebase the range of commits between last-before-branch and branch (that is, XX commit) on the tip of master branch"
After this operation branch
tip is moved on commit XX
, so you want to set it back with
git checkout branch
git reset --hard branch@{1}^
Which says "reset the branch tip to the commit before its previous state"
So a cherry pick is a simpler solution...
You can cherry-pick XX to master.
git checkout master
git cherry-pick <commit ID of XX>
And remove the last commit from the feature branch with git reset.
git checkout Feature-branch
git reset --hard HEAD^
