Apply stash to different branch

2020-08-09 06:32发布

问题:

I was accidentally working on the wrong branch. Now I want to transfer all my changes to the correct branch.

If I stash the changes and apply them on the correct branch, will it only add the uncommitted changes to the correct branch or every change/commit from the wrong branch that doesn't exist on the correct branch?

For example

Wrong branch has:

  • Commit a

  • Uncommitted Changes b

Correct branch has

  • Commit c

If I do git stash on the wrong branch and git apply stash in the correct branch, will it transfer commit a to the correct branch?

回答1:

I would do one stash, then reset (mixed so you don't lose the changes) the a commit, stash that, then change to the correct branch and pop both stashes.

git stash save "b"
git reset HEAD~
git stash save "a"
git checkout correct-branch
git stash pop
git commit -m "a"
git stash pop


回答2:

If your branch doesn't exist yet:

  • git stash branch "new_branch"

if it does:

  • git stash branch "temp_new_branch"
  • git add "your changes"
  • git commit
  • git checkout "your desired branch to apply stash"
  • git merge "temp_new_branch"
  • git push
  • git branch -d "temp_new_branch"

Workaround

  1. Make a commit with those desired changes.
  2. Checkout to the branch you want those changes to be on.
  3. From that branch git cherry-pick 23h123kjb(<-- replace this hash with the one found in a git log specific to the commit you want to bring in)
  4. Profit!


回答4:

No it won't. Commits are not put in the Stash. I also sometimes just switch branches with my changes uncommitted and unstashed and it also works (not sure if in every case, though).

What you can also do:

  • Create a patch on the 'wrong' branch.
  • Discard the changes
  • Switch to the correct branch
  • Apply the patch on that branch
