Move Commits from Wrong Branch

Let’s assume you have 2 main branches: dev and qa.

Problem:

• Branched X from dev, committed.
• Should have branched from qa.
• Now you created Y from qa. Want to move X’s commits there.

# Get commit hash(es) from X
git log --oneline X

# Switch to Y
git checkout Y

# Apply commits
git cherry-pick <hash>
# or for a range:
git cherry-pick <start>^..<end>

Cleanup:

git branch -d X

Verify:

git log --oneline
git diff qa..Y
