I have a single branch in the form of:
a --> b --> c
^ ^
| |
main dev
I want to make another connection between a and c. A visual:
----> b --->
| |
a -------> c
^ ^
| |
main dev
How would I do this with git? Is it possible?
Assuming you want to keep the contents of c in the new revision:
git commit-tree -p main -p b -m "one comment" c^{tree}
That will give you a revision id as the result. Feel free to check it with git log or git checkout.... when you feel like that is what you want:
git branch -f dev the-id
And you are done
