Undoing a git rebase
Does anybody know how to easily undo a git rebase?
The only way that comes to mind is to go at it manually:
- git checkout the commit parent to both of the branches
- then create a temp branch from there
- cherry-pick all commits by hand
- replace the branch in which I rebased by the manually-created branch
In my current situation this is gonna work because I can easily spot commits from both branches (one was my stuff, the other was my colleague's stuff).
However my approach strikes me as suboptimal and error-prone (let's say I had just rebased with 2 of my own branches).
Any ideas?
Clarification: I'm talking about a rebase during which a bunch of commits were replayed. Not only one.
