Question

                             #--#--#(hash_B)--#--#---\         Branch B
                            /                 \
---#---#---#---#(hash_A)---#---#---#---#---------------*       Branch A

I want to push commmits from hash_A to hash_B. How can I do it without exposing any other commits? And keep the local scenario the same as before?

Answer 1

Create a branch (I named it b1 below) on the hash_B commit and push it to the remote server:

git branch b1 hash_B
git push origin b1

It is not possible to push only the commits from hash_A to hash_B. The entire history of hash_A must also be present on the remote repository (it will be sent by git push if it is not already there).

If the remote repository is empty, I think it is possible to achieve the result you want (I didn't test it).

Create another local repository as a shallow clone of the local repository, setting the hash_A commit as the maximum depth it clones and hash_B as its current branch.

Assuming your local repo is named local_repo1, cd to its parent directory and run:

git clone --shallow-exclude=hash_A~1 --branch=hash_B local_repo1 local_repo2

Then add the remote repository as a remote of local_repo2 and push

cd local_repo2
git remote set-url origin remote_repo_url
git push origin hash_B

(The command above doesn't add a new remote but changes the URL of the origin remote. The effect is the same.)

Git: (how) can I push a certain period of histroy to remote server?
