Git – How to Point Branch to New Commit

git

(This question is the opposite of this one)

How can I go from this

dev            C - D
             /
master A - B

to this?

dev                D
                 /
master A - B - C

I know I'm going to kick myself when I see the answer, but for the moment I'm a bit stuck…

Best Answer

Solution

git checkout master
git merge C

With C being the SHA1 of commit C.

Result

                 D (dev)
                /
master A - B - C (move master HEAD)

It should be a fast-forward merge.
