Hi guys,
I love git. And I use it every day. But there is one minor thing, that bugs me a little bit: I am implementing something on a feature branch. Now I detect a minor typo/bug/whatever that just needs a one line commit.
But of course I don't want to add that commit to my feature branch. Instead I'd like to commit that fix directly to another branch (e.g. master).
Unfortunately that take a lot of steps to make this happen: - - comitting - - stashing other changes - - changing branch - - cherry-picking commit - - switching branches back - - reverting latest commit - - unstashing changes
I'd love to solve this by having an option for git commit that gives me the possibility to commit to another branch:
git commit thefixedfile.txt -m "fixed a typo" -b master
Any ideas/hints?
Thanks,
Johannes
