Push commits to another branch

Question

Is it possible to commit and push changes from one branch to another.

Assume I commited changes in BRANCH1 and want to push them to BRANCH2<

Answer 1

It's very simple. Suppose that you have made changes to your Branch A which resides on both place locally and remotely but you want to push these changes to Branch B which doesn't exist anywhere.

Step-01: create and switch to the new branch B

git checkout -b B

Step-02: Add changes in the new local branch

git add . //or specific file(s)

Step-03: Commit the changes

git commit -m "commit_message"

Step-04: Push changes to the new branch B. The below command will create a new branch B as well remotely

git push origin B

Now, you can verify from bitbucket that the branch B will have one more commit than branch A. And when you will checkout the branch A these changes won't be there as these have been pushed into the branch B.

Note: If you have commited your changes into the branch A and after that you want to shift those changes into the new branch B then you will have to reset those changes first. #HappyLearning
