Move commits onto feature branch

move-commits.sh

#
# If, for example, you've accidentally made some commits to master
# that should be on a feature branch, this set of commands will
# move those commits over to a feature branch and reset master to 
# where it should be both locally and on the remote.

git branch feature
git reset --hard HEAD~3 # 3 should be replaced with the number of commits to move
git push --force origin # Force update of remote master (if it's been pushed)
git checkout feature

# As a function:
#
# `move_feature numCommits branchName`
#
function move_feature () {
    git branch ${2} && git reset --hard HEAD~${1} && git push --force origin && git checkout ${2}
