Copy changed files to another branch in Git

#git 
git checkout <branch> -- path/to/file
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

By the above command, you can pickup files to copy to another branch.

For example,

  1. You've been coding on branch-A for a long time.
  2. You wanna open a PR from some files of them.
  3. Then, execute: 
# Switch back to main git checkout main # Create and switch git checkout -b branch-B # Import subset files to branch-B git checkout branch-A -- path/to/file
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
