In git, how do I remove a commit from one branch and apply it to a different branch?

Question

I have two branches off of master, each one for a different feature, and then I have a synthesis branch that combines the two. I committed something to the synthesis branch

Answer 1

Generally, when I do something like this, I will:

1. Create a reverse patch file using git diff (e.g. git diff HEAD^ HEAD)
2. Apply this reverse patch to the branch I want to remove the change from.
3. Check out the branch I DO want the change on
4. Use git cherry-pickto apply the applicable commit

I believe there is an easier way, but I prefer this since I use (and remember) the diff/cherry-pick commands better
