从dev分支创建两个具有特定提交的新分支

Question

I have created a project using Xamarin Studio for a multi-platform app, I did it using a 'dev' branch but after the job was finished I thought it would be better [for clearance and a easy reference] to have two different branches besides master and dev: iOS and Android for commits related to each platform.

Is there a way at this point of the project that I can clone the dev branch, and delete all the commits non-related to this platform?

This is what i currently have:

dev -- Android commit -- Android commit -- iOS commit -- Android commit

And this what I want to achieve:

  /-- iOS Branch -- iOS Commit 1
dev -- Android commit 1-- Android commit 2 -- iOS commit 1 -- Android commit 3
  \-- Android branch -- Android commit 1 -- Android commit 2 -- Android commit 3

Answer 1

If you are willing and have access to the command line, you can do this by creating each branch you want from your last commit and doing

git rebase -i dev

This will show you a list of commits in vim and you can delete the ones you want to skip.

You can use GitKraken Tool, it will ease your daily command line syntax to GUI based application.

With the help of Gitkraken you can simply create multiple branch on single click event.
