Git: Howto move changes since last commit to a new branch

开发者_JAVA技巧

I have been working on a branch which we can call "A". I just realized that the code I have added since I last committed should rather be in a specific (experimental) branch, but not in "A". How can I commit the changes to a new branch and leave branch "A" as it was when I last committed?

If the changes are staged or your working directory, you can simply checkout into a new branch like so:

git checkout -b branch_name

You can then commit directly into the new branch.

git stash
git checkout branch-A
git stash pop
