You could also  in another directory    git clone  your repository   Overwrite the  git directory in your original repository with the  git directory of the repository you just cloned right now  git add and git commit your original

The other answers are lacking on the reordering descriptions   git push  lt remotename gt   lt commit SHA gt   lt remotebranchname gt    will push a single commit  but that commit has to be the OLDEST of your local  non-pushed  commits  not to be confused with the top  first  or tip commit  which are all ambiguous descriptions in my opinion  The commit needs to the oldest of your commits  i e  the furthest from your most recent commit  If it s not the oldest commit then all commits from your oldest  local  non-pushed SHA to the SHA specified will be pushed  To reorder the commits use   git rebase -i HEAD xxx   After reordering the commit you can safely push it to the remote repository   To summarize  I used  git rebase -i HEAD  lt number of commits to SHA gt  git push origin  lt post-rebase SHA gt  master   to push a single commit to my remote master branch   References    http   blog dennisrobinson name push-only-one-commit-with-git  http   blog dennisrobinson name reorder-commits-with-git    See also    git  Duplicate Commits After Local Rebase Followed by Pull git  Pushing Single Commits  Reordering with rebase  Duplicate Commits

Cherry-pick works best compared to all other methods while pushing a specific commit   The way to do that is   Create a new branch -   git branch  lt new-branch gt    Update your new-branch with your origin branch -   git fetch  git rebase   These actions will make sure that you exactly have the same stuff as your origin has   Cherry-pick the sha id that you want to do push -  git cherry-pick  lt sha id of the commit gt    You can get the sha id by running   git log   Push it to your origin -   git push   Run gitk to see that everything looks the same way you wanted

I d suggest using git rebase -i  move the commit you want to push to the top of the commits you ve made   Then use git log to get the SHA of the rebased commit  check it out  and push it   The rebase will have ensures that all your other commits are now children of the one you pushed  so future pushes will work fine too

The simplest way to accomplish this is to use two commands  First  get the local directory into the state that you want  Then    git push origin  HEAD  someBranch removes the last commit from someBranch in the remote only  not local  You can do this a few times in a row  or change  HEAD  to reflect the number of commits that you want to batch remove from remote  Now you re back on your feet  and use   git push origin someBranch as normal to update the remote

To push up through a given commit  you can write   git push  lt remotename gt   lt commit SHA gt   lt remotebranchname gt    provided  lt remotebranchname gt  already exists on the remote    If it doesn t  you can use git push  lt remotename gt   lt commit SHA gt  refs heads  lt remotebranchname gt  to autocreate it    If you want to push a commit without pushing previous commits  you should first use git rebase -i to re-order the commits

I believe you would have to  git revert  back to that commit and then push it  Or you could cherry-pick a commit into a new branch  and push that to the branch on the remote repository  Something like   git branch onecommit git checkout onecommit git cherry-pick 7300a6130d9447e18a931e898b64eefedea19544   From the other branch git push origin  branch
