Now I want to roll back commit 21c78ba8cfb811e1ad7dfb035ef5236e619f5d53 and make new branch. However I want to keep the latest commit 39b6b1d894d0788fdfc09947e1a5f88bf962b142 as master.

I should rollback and make new branch?

or make new branch and rollback??

CodePudding user response：

You could just create a new branch from the 21c78ba8 commit:

git branch new_branch 21c78ba8

@Tim's answer is a good point if you don't really want to rollback. If, however, you really want/need to revert what was done in 39b6b1d894d0788fdfc09947e1a5f88bf962b142, this is the simplest way to do it:

git revert 39b6b1d894
