Creating a New Branch from a Specific Commit
To create a new branch from a specific commit, you need the commit hash. This allows you to branch out from any point in the project’s history. Replace new-branch-name
with your desired branch name and commit-hash
with the hash of the commit from which you want to create the branch.
git checkout -b new-branch-name commit-hash
