Move the most recent commit(s) to a new branch with Git

Question

I\'d like to move the last several commits I\'ve committed to master to a new branch and take master back to before those commits were made. Unfortunately, my Git-fu is not

Answer 1

If you just need to move all your unpushed commits to a new branch, then you just need to,

1. create a new branch from the current one :git branch new-branch-name

2. push your new branch: git push origin new-branch-name

3. revert your old(current) branch to the last pushed/stable state: git reset --hard origin/old-branch-name

Some people also have other upstreams rather than origin, they should use appropriate upstream
