Creating a new Commit from changes made in a previous commit

I was working on an app and when I pulled new code today morning, I found that the app was not working, so, I did a git checkout to go to a previous commit.

Now I have made some changes to this commit and I want to create a new commit with these changes.

Is this possible? If not, please suggest a way to achieve the objective.

Yes, this is very possible. 

git checkout branch_Id // previous commit
git checkout -b new branch name // Create branch at current position
git add .//make change and add

git commit -m 'your commit statement'

git checkout master 

git merge new branch name

Just git checkout master; git commit. Changes in your index and worktree stay there until you commit them. If there are conflicting changes between your work and the new checkout, git checkout -m master and resolve the conflicts, then git commit.

Assuming you have previously done git checkout abcdef and made changes; now you do:

git checkout -b foo

which will not make any changes to source files, it just creates a new branch name foo.

Then you do the usual git add and git commit commands that you would do to commit changes.

Assuming your branch is master

git checkout f95ecfe // previous commit
git checkout -b bug_fix // Create branch at current possition
git add -A //make change and add
git commit -m 'commit message'
git checkout master 
git merge bug_fix

Hope this helps
