git rebase [branch] AT entry point

Question

I have in my current local branch 10 commits:

• Commit 1 <<< oldest commit
• Commit 2
• ...
• Commit 9
• Commit 10 <<<< latest commit

I want to do git rebase other-branch but i dont want it to put it as the "oldest commit", meaning I dont want it to come in before "Commit 1".

I want to put it right before the latest commit, so after git rebase other-branch there will be

• Commit 9
• .......New commits here
• Commit 10

I thought this would be possible, because we can use git rebase -i to move around commit order.

Answer 1

This will re-write the history of your branch, but you can accomplish this with:

git reset --hard COMMIT9SHA
git merge other-branch
git cherry-pick COMMIT10SHA

If you want to avoid a merge-commit, you could first switch to other-branch and rebase it off of COMMIT9SHA:

git checkout other-branch
git rebase COMMIT9SHA
