I have a branch that I would like to reinstall on the last commit on my host. The problem is that one of the intermediate commits to the wizard was deleting and ignoring a certain set of files (see this question ).
If I just do a direct reinstall, these files will be deleted again. Is there a way to do this inside git and not copy all the files manually and then copy them again again?
Or do I need to do something like create a new branch from the master, and then merge only the commit from the old branch?
Attempts at ascii art:
master branch
| w work in progress on branch
C | committed further changes on master
| |
B / committed delete/ignore files on master
| 2 committed changes on branch
| /
A / committed changes on master which I now need to get branch working
| 1 committed changes on branch
0___/ created branch
