If you merge a commit into your branch  you should get all the history between    Observe      git init    Initialized empty Git repository in  Users dfarrell git demo  git    echo  a    letter   git add letter   git commit -m  Initial Letter   master  root-commit  6e59e76  Initial Letter  1 file changed  1 insertion     create mode 100644 letter   echo  b     letter   git add letter    git commit -m  Adding letter   master 7126e6d  Adding letter  1 file changed  1 insertion      echo  c     letter  git add letter    git commit -m  Adding letter   master f2458be  Adding letter  1 file changed  1 insertion      echo  d     letter  git add letter    git commit -m  Adding letter   master 7f77979  Adding letter  1 file changed  1 insertion      echo  e     letter  git add letter    git commit -m  Adding letter   master 790eade  Adding letter  1 file changed  1 insertion      git log commit 790eade367b0d8ab8146596cd717c25fd895302a Author  Dan Farrell  Date    Thu Jul 16 14 21 26 2015 -0500      Adding letter  commit 7f77979efd17f277b4be695c559c1383d2fc2f27 Author  Dan Farrell  Date    Thu Jul 16 14 21 24 2015 -0500      Adding letter  commit f2458bea7780bf09fe643095dbae95cf97357ccc Author  Dan Farrell  Date    Thu Jul 16 14 21 19 2015 -0500      Adding letter  commit 7126e6dcb9c28ac60cb86ae40fb358350d0c5fad Author  Dan Farrell  Date    Thu Jul 16 14 20 52 2015 -0500      Adding letter  commit 6e59e7650314112fb80097d7d3803c964b3656f0 Author  Dan Farrell  Date    Thu Jul 16 14 20 33 2015 -0500      Initial Letter   git checkout 6e59e7650314112fb80097d7d3803c964b3656f   git checkout 7126e6dcb9c28ac60cb86ae40fb358350d0c5fad Note  checking out  7126e6dcb9c28ac60cb86ae40fb358350d0c5fad    You are in  detached HEAD  state  You can look around  make experimental changes and commit them  and you can discard any commits you make in this state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout   If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create  you may do so  now or later  by using -b with the checkout command again  Example     git checkout -b new branch name  HEAD is now at 7126e6d    Adding letter   git checkout -b B 7126e6dcb9c28ac60cb86ae40fb358350d0c5fad Switched to a new branch  B    git pull 790eade367b0d8ab8146596cd717c25fd895302a fatal   790eade367b0d8ab8146596cd717c25fd895302a  does not appear to be a git repository fatal  Could not read from remote repository   Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists    git merge 7f77979efd17f277b4be695c559c1383d2fc2f27 Updating 7126e6d  7f77979 Fast-forward  letter   2     1 file changed  2 insertions      cat letter a b c d

You can also pull the latest commit and just undo until the commit you desire   git pull origin master git reset --hard HEAD 1   Replace master with your desired branch   Use git log to see to which commit you would like to revert   git log   Personally  this has worked for me better   Basically  what this does is pulls the latest commit  and you manually revert commits one by one  Use git log in order to see commit history   Good points  Works as advertised  You don t have to use commit hash or pull unneeded branches   Bad points  You need to revert commits on by one   WARNING  Commit stash all your local changes  because with --hard you are going to lose them  Use at your own risk

This works for me  git pull origin  lt sha gt   e g   dbn src   git fetch  dbn src   git status On branch current feature Your branch and  origin master  have diverged  and have 2 and 7 different commits each  respectively       dbn src   git log -3 --pretty oneline origin master f4d10ad2a5eda447bea53fed0b421106dbecea66 CASE-ID1  some descriptive msg 28eb00a42e682e32bdc92e5753a4a9c315f62b42 CASE-ID2  I m so good at writing commit titles ff39e46b18a66b21bc1eed81a0974e5c7de6a3e5 CASE-ID2  woooooo  dbn src   git pull origin 28eb00a42e682e32bdc92e5753a4a9c315f62b42  dbn src   git status On branch current feature Your branch and  origin master  have diverged  and have 2 and 1 different commits each  respectively       This pulls 28eb00  ff39e4  and everything before  but doesn t pull f4d10ad  It allows the use of pull --rebase  and honors pull settings in your gitconfig  This works because you re basically treating 28eb00 as a branch  For the version of git that I m using  this method requires a full commit hash - no abbreviations or aliases are allowed  You could do something like   dbn src   git pull origin  git rev-parse origin master

First  fetch the latest commits from the remote repo  This will not affect your local branch   git fetch origin   Then checkout the remote tracking branch and do a git log to see the commits  git checkout origin master git log   Grab the commit hash of the commit you want to merge up to  or just the first  5 chars of it  and merge that commit into master  git checkout master git merge  lt commit hash gt

git pull is nothing but git fetch followed by git merge  So what you can do is  git fetch remote example branch  git merge  lt commit hash gt

[git] Git pull till a particular commit
