You committed to `main` by mistake instead of a feature branch (not pushed). How do you fix it?

✓Correct answer: Create the branch at HEAD, then reset main back
2Revert the commit on main and push
3Cherry-pick it to main again with a new message

Explanation

git branch feature, then git reset --hard origin/main (or HEAD~1), then git switch feature. Since nothing was pushed, rewriting local main is safe.
