How to create a new branch from a specific git commit.

Here is my git work that I was working on my next.js portfolio app where I had a need to of creating a branch from a specific git commit. It's supper easy.

1. Get the commit id. You can use git log command or use git graph VS code extension for that.

   

2. write the command like below.

    git checkout <---Commit--ID----->
   
    //example 
    git checkout 735f06f9c6a001899e5df5306a7126f337cf9ba3
   

   This will take you to that commit point.

   

   Now you are inside of that history point & you can create a branch from this history point.

3. Create branch use following command

    git checkout -b new-branch
   

   

4. Now you have successfully created new branch from a specific git commit

   

There is also a shorthand command for this

git checkout -b <---new-branch-name--> <---commit-ID--->
//example
git checout -b new-branch 735f06f9c6a001899e5df5306a7126f337cf9ba3

And that’s it! 🎉 You’ve created a new branch from a specific commit!

Happy coding! 😊
