Question

I have just used Git programming. The problem case is as follows:

” I have just committed my changes on a master branch, and generated a patch on that.
Actually I just want to save the patch and return back to the position before I did this commit? How can I do that?”

Thanks

Answer 1

You run git log, you find the sha1 of the commit you want to go to, and you run

git checkout <sha1>

If you want to start commiting from this point you create a new branch at this point with

git checkout -b <branchname>

Or you can just move master to this sha1 with

git br -f master <sha1>; git checkout master
