  • Does it mean, L' will be N -> M -> L on branch master? or it will exclusively bring commit L on master branch Commented Apr 22, 2020 at 2:13

    @PriyankThakkar, yes, exclusively L, nothing else (as you can see from pictures / animation). Commented Apr 22, 2020 at 10:45

    »The commit L' is from the user's point of view (commit = snapshot) the exact copy of the commit L.« – No, it's not the same snapshot (unless the snapshots K and E were already the same), just the same difference (i.e. E→L' = K→L). Commented Nov 30, 2020 at 20:05

    Yeah, but the changes in K is also applied right.? Commented Feb 7, 2021 at 10:21

    @Jovylle, think about a commit as a snapshot, not as differences between them. Differences git don't save, only the current full content of files. So changes from K to L don't matter, only the current status of L. Commented Feb 7, 2021 at 19:04
