I made 6 commits on the master(main) branch, and I added a new branch which starts from the 2nd commit of master branch. But that was yesterday's work. Today, I want to make another brand new branch which starts from the 3rd commit of the master branch. Please tell me how to do that.

I was making commits as usual on master branch....and in that way I made a total of 6 commits in that branch. And, in advance, I already created a new branch from the 2nd commit of master branch, right? In that branch, I made 4 commits. So I wish to create another branch which starts from the 3rd commit of the master branch. But in order to do so, I was unable to get back to the previous commits, because, I Don't know how to do that! Please let me know, how to achieve what I want, by telling me the necessary git commands/important steps.

You can view the commits that you have via

git log

You will see a list of commits and each of those commits has a hash (alphanumeric character string). So, you will need to check out that hash via

git checkout <thehash>

create the branch

git branch <branchname>

and check out the new branch:

git checkout <branchname>

You can push such a branch to the origin (remote) via

git push -u origin <branchname>
