Move a commit from one branch to another branch

Question

I am new to git. I have mistakenly done a commit in a wrong branch B. It should be in branch A.

Is there any way I can move the commit from B to A.

Please suggest. Any help is highly appreciated.

1.- The first thing will be list the commits with :
```
git log --oneline
```
2.- You must find the commit (from branch B) and select the ID of the commit to change
3.- Change the branch
```
git checkout A
```
4.- And from there you must execute the following commit
```
git cherry-pick c8dc73f
```
Where c8dc73f is the number or ID of the commit that I selected in the second step.

Nice explanation. All good now. The commit has been copied from B to A. Now my next task is to delete/remove that commit from branch B. – Prithviraj Mitra Jun 21 '18 at 14:15

You can use cherry-pick:

Let say you have two branch A and B and mistakenly done a commit in a wrong branch B

Take commit it from the branch B using

 git log

Got to branch A using

git checkout <branch-name> 
git checkout A

Now do cherry-pick using:

git cherry-pick <commit-id>

If you get conflicts resolve it and do git add and then commit.If you want to abort cherry-pick use

git cherry-pick --abort
