Each branch is an independent line of development in which you can make changes to files.\nYou can move commits from one branch to another branch if you want changes to be reflected on a different branch than the one to which you pushed the changes.\nIn this guide, we discuss how to move a commit to a different branch. We walk through two methods of moving a commit to a different branch: moving to an existing branch, and a new branch.\nGit Branching: A Refresher\nBranches\nlet you work on two different versions of a project at the same time.\nThis is useful if you want to fix a bug without changing the main version of a project until that bug is properly fixed. Branches are commonly used when implementing features to keep those features away from the main project until they are ready to be released.\nYou can move a commit to another branch using the Git command line.\nGit: Move a Commit to a New Branch\nWe’re working on a project and we want to work on a new feature.\nWe want to move a commit we’ve made to the master branch to a new branch called new-feed. This is because the commit will likely be part of a series of commits about a feature and the feature is not ready for a wide release.\nTo move the commit to a new branch, we must first create a new branch:\ngit branch new-feed\nThis command creates a branch containing all the code currently on the “master” branch. \nNow that we have a new branch, we can move our master branch back by one commit so it does not contain the code we’ve written toward the new feature:\ngit reset --hard HEAD~1\nWe are\nresetting the master branch\nto the state it was in before the last commit. We can change the number 1 to reflect any number of commits we want to move back.\nAlternatively, you can specify the hash of a commit if you are not sure how many commits you want to move back relative to the current state of the repository.\nThe next step is to checkout to the new branch to see the version of our project with the features we’ve written:\ngit checkout new-feed\nOur commit has been moved to the new branch.\nGit: Move a Commit to an Existing Branch\nYou can move a commit to an existing branch. To start, navigate to the branch to which we want to move our commit using the\ngit checkout command\n:\ngit checkout new-feed-2\nWe are now viewing the new-feed-2 branch. Next, we’re going to\nmerge all of the changes\nwe have made to the master branch into the new-feed-2 branch. This will ensure both branches contain the same code:\ngit merge master\nNow that the new-feed-2 branch contains our changes, we can move back to master and reset our repository to the commit before the one where we pushed our changes:\ngit checkout master\ngit reset --hard HEAD~1\nThese commands move our master branch back by one commit. This means that our new branch, new-feed-2, contains the code from our changes. The master branch appears in the way it did before we created that commit and pushed it to the master branch.\nConclusion\nYou can move a commit to another branch, whether it’s a new branch or an existing one. This is because branches let you maintain independent versions of a project. A new branch contains all of the history of an existing branch and then can create its own history.\nNow you’re ready to move commits to another branch in Git like a professional developer.","attrs_markdown":"![](https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tr?id=726791754150577&ev=PageView&noscript=1)\n\nNot sure which program is right for you?

We walk through two methods of moving a commit to a different branch: moving to an existing branch, and a new branch.\n\n## Git Branching: A Refresher\n[Branches](https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/git-branch\/) let you work on two different versions of a project at the same time.\n\nThis is useful if you want to fix a bug without changing the main version of a project until that bug is properly fixed. Branches are commonly used when implementing features to keep those features away from the main project until they are ready to be released.\n\nYou can move a commit to another branch using the Git command line.\n\n## Git: Move a Commit to a New Branch\nWe’re working on a project and we want to work on a new feature.\n\nWe want to move a commit we’ve made to the master branch to a new branch called new-feed. This is because the commit will likely be part of a series of commits about a feature and the feature is not ready for a wide release.\n\nTo move the commit to a new branch, we must first create a new branch:\n\n`git branch new-feed`\n\nThis command creates a branch containing all the code currently on the “master” branch.\n\nNow that we have a new branch, we can move our master branch back by one commit so it does not contain the code we’ve written toward the new feature:\n\n`git reset --hard HEAD~1`\n\nWe are [resetting the master branch](https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/git-reset\/) to the state it was in before the last commit. We can change the number 1 to reflect any number of commits we want to move back.\n\nAlternatively, you can specify the hash of a commit if you are not sure how many commits you want to move back relative to the current state of the repository.\n\nThe next step is to checkout to the new branch to see the version of our project with the features we’ve written:\n\n`git checkout new-feed`\n\nOur commit has been moved to the new branch.\n\n## Git: Move a Commit to an Existing Branch\nYou can move a commit to an existing branch. To start, navigate to the branch to which we want to move our commit using the [git checkout command](https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/git-checkout\/):\n\n`git checkout new-feed-2`\n\nWe are now viewing the new-feed-2 branch. Next, we’re going to [merge all of the changes](https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/git-merge\/) we have made to the master branch into the new-feed-2 branch. This will ensure both branches contain the same code:\n\n`git merge master`\n\nNow that the new-feed-2 branch contains our changes, we can move back to master and reset our repository to the commit before the one where we pushed our changes:\n```\ngit checkout master\ngit reset --hard HEAD~1\n```\nThese commands move our master branch back by one commit. This means that our new branch, new-feed-2, contains the code from our changes. The master branch appears in the way it did before we created that commit and pushed it to the master branch.\n\n## Conclusion\nYou can move a commit to another branch, whether it’s a new branch or an existing one. This is because branches let you maintain independent versions of a project. A new branch contains all of the history of an existing branch and then can create its own history.\n\nNow you’re ready to move commits to another branch in Git like a professional developer.\n\n**About us:** Career Karma is a platform designed to help job seekers find, research, and connect with job training programs to advance their careers.

Each branch is an independent line of development in which you can make changes to files. You can move commits from one branch to another branch if you want changes to be reflected on a different branch than the one to which you pushed the changes.

In this guide, we discuss how to move a commit to a different branch. We walk through two methods of moving a commit to a different branch: moving to an existing branch, and a new branch. ## Git Branching: A Refresher [Branches](https://careerkarma.com/blog/git-branch/) let you work on two different versions of a project at the same time. This is useful if you want to fix a bug without changing the main version of a project until that bug is properly fixed. Branches are commonly used when implementing features to keep those features away from the main project until they are ready to be released. You can move a commit to another branch using the Git command line. ## Git: Move a Commit to a New Branch We’re working on a project and we want to work on a new feature. We want to move a commit we’ve made to the master branch to a new branch called new-feed. This is because the commit will likely be part of a series of commits about a feature and the feature is not ready for a wide release. To move the commit to a new branch, we must first create a new branch: `git branch new-feed` This command creates a branch containing all the code currently on the “master” branch. Now that we have a new branch, we can move our master branch back by one commit so it does not contain the code we’ve written toward the new feature: `git reset --hard HEAD~1` We are [resetting the master branch](https://careerkarma.com/blog/git-reset/) to the state it was in before the last commit. We can change the number 1 to reflect any number of commits we want to move back. Alternatively, you can specify the hash of a commit if you are not sure how many commits you want to move back relative to the current state of the repository. The next step is to checkout to the new branch to see the version of our project with the features we’ve written: `git checkout new-feed` Our commit has been moved to the new branch. ## Git: Move a Commit to an Existing Branch You can move a commit to an existing branch. To start, navigate to the branch to which we want to move our commit using the [git checkout command](https://careerkarma.com/blog/git-checkout/): `git checkout new-feed-2` We are now viewing the new-feed-2 branch. Next, we’re going to [merge all of the changes](https://careerkarma.com/blog/git-merge/) we have made to the master branch into the new-feed-2 branch. This will ensure both branches contain the same code: `git merge master` Now that the new-feed-2 branch contains our changes, we can move back to master and reset our repository to the commit before the one where we pushed our changes: ``` git checkout master git reset --hard HEAD~1 ``` These commands move our master branch back by one commit. This means that our new branch, new-feed-2, contains the code from our changes. The master branch appears in the way it did before we created that commit and pushed it to the master branch. ## Conclusion You can move a commit to another branch, whether it’s a new branch or an existing one. This is because branches let you maintain independent versions of a project. A new branch contains all of the history of an existing branch and then can create its own history. Now you’re ready to move commits to another branch in Git like a professional developer.

Readable Markdown	[Code in Git projects is stored in branches](https://careerkarma.com/blog/what-is-git/). Each branch is an independent line of development in which you can make changes to files. You can move commits from one branch to another branch if you want changes to be reflected on a different branch than the one to which you pushed the changes. In this guide, we discuss how to move a commit to a different branch. We walk through two methods of moving a commit to a different branch: moving to an existing branch, and a new branch. ## Git Branching: A Refresher [Branches](https://careerkarma.com/blog/git-branch/) let you work on two different versions of a project at the same time. This is useful if you want to fix a bug without changing the main version of a project until that bug is properly fixed. Branches are commonly used when implementing features to keep those features away from the main project until they are ready to be released. You can move a commit to another branch using the Git command line. ## Git: Move a Commit to a New Branch We’re working on a project and we want to work on a new feature. We want to move a commit we’ve made to the master branch to a new branch called new-feed. This is because the commit will likely be part of a series of commits about a feature and the feature is not ready for a wide release. To move the commit to a new branch, we must first create a new branch: `git branch new-feed` This command creates a branch containing all the code currently on the “master” branch. Now that we have a new branch, we can move our master branch back by one commit so it does not contain the code we’ve written toward the new feature: `git reset --hard HEAD~1` We are [resetting the master branch](https://careerkarma.com/blog/git-reset/) to the state it was in before the last commit. We can change the number 1 to reflect any number of commits we want to move back. Alternatively, you can specify the hash of a commit if you are not sure how many commits you want to move back relative to the current state of the repository. The next step is to checkout to the new branch to see the version of our project with the features we’ve written: `git checkout new-feed` Our commit has been moved to the new branch. ## Git: Move a Commit to an Existing Branch You can move a commit to an existing branch. To start, navigate to the branch to which we want to move our commit using the [git checkout command](https://careerkarma.com/blog/git-checkout/): `git checkout new-feed-2` We are now viewing the new-feed-2 branch. Next, we’re going to [merge all of the changes](https://careerkarma.com/blog/git-merge/) we have made to the master branch into the new-feed-2 branch. This will ensure both branches contain the same code: `git merge master` Now that the new-feed-2 branch contains our changes, we can move back to master and reset our repository to the commit before the one where we pushed our changes: ``` git checkout master git reset --hard HEAD~1 ``` These commands move our master branch back by one commit. This means that our new branch, new-feed-2, contains the code from our changes. The master branch appears in the way it did before we created that commit and pushed it to the master branch. ## Conclusion You can move a commit to another branch, whether it’s a new branch or an existing one. This is because branches let you maintain independent versions of a project. A new branch contains all of the history of an existing branch and then can create its own history. Now you’re ready to move commits to another branch in Git like a professional developer.
