How can I push specific commit to a remote, without the previous commits?
I committed code in local repository 2 or more times using
git commit -m "message 1"
git commit -m "message 2"
git commit -m "message 3"
Now I have three commits with following SHA
commit-1 SHA1
commit-2 SHA2
commit-3 SHA3
But I want to push only commit-2 in remote repository using git push.
If I run git push then it will push all commits.
And I also tried following commands:
git push SHA2
but this also pushed all commits.
How to push this only commit-2 in remote repository ?
You need to git rebase -i your branch first, in order to make commit2 the first commit after origin/yourBranch .
x--x--C1--C2--C3 (B)
|
(origin/B)
git rebase -i C1~
x--x--C2'--C1'--C3' (B)
|
(origin/B)
Then you can push that commit.
See "git - pushing specific commit":
git push <remotename> <commit SHA>:<remotebranchname>
# Example
git push origin 712acff81033eddc90bb2b45e1e4cd031fefc50f:master
It does push all commits up to and including the commit you choose.
But since your commit is the first one, it only pushes that commit.
I would not recommend cherry-picking, as it changes the SHA1 of the commits pushed: when you will eventually push your full branch, you will end up with duplicate commits.
You can also use cherry-pick to do it but your local branch with the unpushed commits will divert from your remote branch.
How to do it?
# cd into your project folder
# create new branch based on the origin branch (latest code in remote)
git checkout -b <new branch> origin/master
# "grab" the commit you wish to use
git cherry-pick <SHA-1>
# now your branch contains the desired commit.
# push it back to your remote.
