I have made multiple commits but don’t want all commits to be pushed for now. Is there a way to push only those commits which I want?

Thanks

    You have two options,

    rebase

    Say, you want to include 3 out of five most recent commits:

    git rebase -i HEAD~5           # reorder the lines in the text editor, 
                               # leave the 'private' commits at the end
git push origin HEAD~2:master  # push all but the last two

    cherry pick

    This involves a temporary branch and is a lot more work

    git checkout -b temp HEAD~5
git cherrypick <hash1>
git cherrypick <hash2>
git cherrypick <hash3>
git push origin master

    Recommendations

    • I recommend against cherrypicking since it is more errorprone and easily makes identical commits seem ‘unidentical’
    • use the --cherry-pick or --cherry-mark options with git log to see the actual differences between refs (git log --cherry-pick --oneline master...origin/master)
