Move commits not in origin to a branch

Move commits not in origin to a branch

[shawn wilson]

How do I move commits I haven't pushed into a new branch?

 % git log origin..master --pretty=format:'%h'
f7d3a19
1f186c9
66d99f6

Which I'd like to be in a new branch.

Do you want them to be on the new branch as they are, i.e. as commits
built on top of master? Then

git branch mybranch master

will create a new branch "mybranch" which contains those commits. If you
want to "remove" them from master, then

git checkout master # unless you are there already
git reset --keep origin/master

to "rewind" master to commit "origin/master".

Oh cool, I think that's what I wanted. I didn't realize it was that
easy - I said screw it and went and pushed them, but... for next time
(or I'll stop being stupid and work in a branch from now on).

Thanks
