How to remove last push from main branch and push it to a new branch?

Question

I just pushed some changes to my main branch. Now I want to remove the last push from the main branch and move it to a new branch. Is there any command for that?

Answer 1

There is the git-cherry pick for this task.

git cherry-pick <SHA-1>

Apply the change introduced by the commit(s) at the tip of the master branch and create a new commit(s) with this change.

The syntax of the ... is a commit range. grab all commits from start (exclude) to the last one. If you want a single commit use a single SHA-1

Once you have the desired commit to the desired branch remove it with one of teh following as described in here:
