Steps to Push a Specific Commit

Step 1. Identify the Commit

First, identify the commit hash (SHA) you want to push. You can find this using:

git log

This command lists your commit history. Note the hash of the commit you want to push.

Step 2. Create a New Branch

Create a new branch from the commit you want to push:

git checkout -b new-branch <commit-hash>

Replace <commit-hash> with the hash you identified earlier. This creates a new branch pointing to the specific commit.

Step 3. Push the New Branch

Push the new branch to the remote repository:

git push origin new-branch

This command pushes only the commit(s) in new-branch to the remote repository.

Step 4. Optional: Merge or Rebase

If you eventually want to integrate this commit into another branch (e.g., main), you can either merge or rebase:

Merge

git checkout main
git merge new-branch

Rebase:

git checkout main
git rebase new-branch

Step 5: Cleaning Up

After successfully pushing and integrating the commit, you might want to clean up by deleting the temporary branch:

git branch -d new-branch

In version control systems like Git, pushing specific commits to a remote repository is a common task. Whether you’re working on a feature branch or fixing a bug, sometimes you need to push only a particular commit without including earlier commits. Here, we’ll explore the steps and commands to Push a Specific Commit to Remote in Git.
