You can checkout to the commit-sha then, create a new branch (say, feature) from that commit.

$ git checkout 
$ git checkout -b feature    # create a new branch named `feature` from the commit


# if you want to replace the current branch (say 'develop') with new created branch ('feature') 
$ git branch -D develop     # delete the local 'develop' branch
$ git checkout -b develop   # create a new 'develop' branch from 'feature' branch
