I am currently working on my android application on android studio and I am fairly new to working on it with git. I have files that I want to move from a branch (branch1) to a completely new branch (feature1). Please note that I have committed all of my changes to branch1 and I have pushed all of those commits as well.

I have seen similar questions with answers but I am quite confused about how to make it work. How can I do that? Thank you and pls bear with me :)

You can cherry pick commit that you want to move from branch1 to feature1

Let's say we have three branch in a repository (master, branch1, branch2).

Now, you want to remove file from branch1 and that file should be present in a completely new branch say branch3

1. Create new branch of branch1

   git checkout branch1 //to create new branch from branch1, you need to checkout to that branch first

   git checkout -b branch3

Now, the new files are in branch3.

Now checkout to branch1 and $ git rm <file-name> and $ git commit -m "file removed from branch"

It's the simple and straightforward way I can think of.
