I have started doing some work on a branch which I have in term realised was the wrong branch. Is there a way to move a branch to a different branch.
For example:
A -- B -- C -- D -- HEAD
\-- E -- F -- G -- H -- I -- J
\-- K -- L
And I want this:
A -- B -- C -- D -- HEAD
\ \-- K -- L
\
\-- E -- F -- G -- H -- I -- J
Let's say you've named your branches like so:
A -- B -- C -- D (master)
\-- E -- G -- H -- I -- J (current-parent)
\-- K -- L (my-branch)
What you want to do is rebase my-branch
onto the B commit like so:
git rebase current-parent my-branch --onto B
You could use git rebase --onto
, e.g.,
git rebase --onto new-base old-base your-branch
So in your case, something like:
git rebase --onto B E L
should work.
This is just the sort of thing git rebase
can do.
