If you want to create a new branch from an older commit (not the latest one), here’s how:
✅ Steps:
Find the commit hash:
git log --oneline
Example output:
e3a1b55 Fix security issue
6f24a1d Add README
34d2a5c Initial commit
Create a branch from that commit:
git checkout -b my-old-branch e3a1b55
Note:
- Replace my-old-branch with your desired branch name.
- Replace e3a1b55 with the actual commit hash.
Push the new branch (optional):
git push origin my-old-branch
🔄 If you’re already on another branch and don’t want to switch:
You can also do this without switching branches:
git branch my-old-branch e3a1b55
Then push:
git push origin my-old-branch
