how do you push only some of your local git commits?

by

Assuming your commits are on the master branch and you want to push them to the remote master branch:

$ git push origin master~3:master

If you were using git-svn:

$ git svn dcommit master~3

In the case of git-svn, you could also use HEAD~3, since it is expecting a commit. In the case of straight git, you need to use the branch name because HEAD isn’t evaluated properly in the refspec.

You could also take a longer approach of:

$ git checkout -b tocommit HEAD~3
$ git push origin tocommit:master

If you are making a habit of this type of work flow, you should consider doing your work in a separate branch. Then you could do something like:

$ git checkout master
$ git merge working~3
$ git push origin master:master

Note that the “origin master:master” part is probably optional for your setup.
