如何创建一个从master恢复的新分支，然后在恢复后的新提交后使用该分支进行pull请求？

Question

Bascially, master is ABCDE. I would like to revert to C. So far, I have done git checkout -b revertedBranch <C's commit hash> . I made a change, then commit and push the changes. Will I be able to create a pull request successfully? Essentially, it's going from Head to modified C. So, revertedBranch will look like CX. Then the pull request will try to get it to look like ABCDEX. Does that work?

Answer 1

To answer to your question this will work.

As said by several people you should take care of the wording, you are not doing revert here, just forking from a previous commit.

So if you submit your pull request this can lead to:

                ---X---   revertedBranch
              /         \
     A---B---C---D---E---Y--- master

Y will be the merge commit of your branch into master. Or if you set up git hub to rebase the PR:

     A---B---C---D---E---X'--- master

X' is the commit rebased on master
