Subject: Created branch in wrong place... how to fix?
Date: Wed, 1 Jun 2011 13:47:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BANLkTingMK3Zv6NZdFAiLXZzJpSZYZmjQA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I created a branch in a project and did a series of commits. I now
discover that I really wanted to make all those changes against a
completely different branch of the same project. There shouldn't be
any issues as the branch introduces entirely new files (no changes to
existing code).
I'm struggling to see a way to do this without loosing the history.
Some Google'ing suggests 'rebase --onto' but I'm struggling to see how
this works or if it is appropriate. Any pointers much appreciated :)
Thanks.
