Right now it is not the real branch, but we can name it. But we have new branch which is our new HEAD. We see that our branch my-branch stayed like it was before. When we will call:ĭ-E-H-I (HEAD my-branch) | E'-H'-I' (HEAD)Īs in the normal git rebase we switch HEAD to the last argument of git rebase -onto command. The situation looks different when instead of HEAD as the third argument we will use the last commit. The same effect, we will get when we call: So, we can say that we change the parent of commit E from D to F.

We rebase the commit reachable from HEAD ( my-branch) where parent commit is D on top of the F commit. To do that we need to use this command:Ī-B-C-F-G (branch) A-B-C-F-G (branch)ĭ-E-H-I (HEAD my-branch) E'-H'-I' (HEAD my-branch) It grants you control over what and where is being rebased.įor example, you would like to change the branch starting point from C to F and you would like to remove commit D from your next-feature branch. We can say that git rebase -onto in precise and elastic solution. This is true not only on one specific branch but for other branches (all valid commits) too. In case of git rebase -onto we can change the point where our branch is starting not only to the last commit on parent branch, but we can choose specific commit where we start and also where we finish. Git rebase –onto More precise changing parent branch In other words, we change the parent of our next-feature branch from commit C to commit G on the master branch. However, keep in mind that when you use tools like git log, you will see changes on top of the master branch. In our case, when we look at the diagram, it will be better to say that we move our commits on the end of the master branch. When we do git rebase we take D commit (which is the first commit on the next-feature branch) with all next commits on this branch and we move them on top of the last commit on master branch so on top of G. In both cases on the master branch, we had two commits F and G that are not reachable from the next-feature branch. We can do:Ī-B-C-F-G (master) A-B-C-F-G (master)ĭ-E (HEAD next-feature) D'-E' (HEAD next-feature) When we use git rebase and we are already on the branch which we want to rebase, we can skip a second argument. Their unique identifier generated by cryptographic hash function SHA-1 ( dce79fd), which we often call just SHA, changed.

On this branch, we still get access to our code in commits D and E, but they are not the same commits. Git rebase is a command which allows us to have access to the latest commit that is reachable from and move our commits on top of it.Ī-B-C-F-G (HEAD master) A-B-C-F-G (master)ĭ-E (next-feature) D'-E' (HEAD next-feature)Īs you see above after git rebase our HEAD is always the last argument. Right now, we will cover it very quickly.

So if you want to know more about git rebase go there. I wrote a separate article about git rebase. First, we will focus on just a simple git rebase.

But before we go there, we need to understand the differences between git rebase -onto with two and three arguments. You can change the parent branch and remove some commits at the same time. Of course, you can combine these two reasons. You want to quickly remove some commits from your current branch.You have a branch, where you want to change its parent branch.There are two cases when you can go for git rebase -onto: To use it freely first, you need to understand it. It’s a good topic to take a look closely. We can do much more with git rebase -onto help. But git rebase -onto is more than just replacing parent branch.
#REMOVE COMMIT FROM MASTER GIT HOW TO#
In article How to change parent branch in git? I talked quickly about using git rebase -onto in a case when you want to replace the current parent branch.
