Question

i am working in a project and as i make one change i commit it. Then, after commiting 3 or 4 changes i push it all.

What i would like to do is to push just one of those revisions that i have locally. can i do that? How?

Thanks

Try working in a local ‘work’ branch. This has advantages such as you can switch to a different branch if you get called to work on say, a bug.

When you’re ready to push: git checkout master, git pull, git merge work, git push, will be your normal flow.

However, you can cherry-pick commits from your work branch to the master, that way only those commits will be pushed.

git checkout master
git cherry-pick <id of commit you want>
git push

You could likely do this even now.

git checkout -b work
git log (and look for the IDs of the commits you want)
git checkout master
git reset --hard HEAD~3 (remove last 3 commits from master)
git cherry-pick <ID of commit you want>
git push
