Commit to other branch

Hi guys,

I often run in that scenario: I see a small bugfix/typo/missing documentation. Of course I just add a bit of code to fix that issue... Then I'd like to commit that change as own commit. And most of the time this is possible without any problems (git commit <file>). But as I am *always* working on a topic branch, it takes some work to commit that change to another branch.

I tried to "git stash " But then *all* changes are stashed (including my changes)...

So at the moment I do that:

git commit <file> (on wrong branch) git stash git checkout pu git cherry-pick git checkout my-topic git reset --hard git stash apply

And that is much to much work. I just want to do something like that:

git commit <file> -b pu

But I don't think that is possible at the moment... Any hints, how I could solve that? How do you do that?

Thanks,

Johannes
