Cherry picking in Git means to choose a commit from one branch and apply it onto another branch directly.
Example:
This is in contrast with other ways such as merge and rebase which normally apply many commits onto another branch.
- Make sure you are on the branch you want to apply the commit to.
git switch master - Execute the following:
git cherry-pick <commit-hash>
N.B.:
- If you cherry-pick from a public branch, you should consider using
git cherry-pick -x <commit-hash> This will generate a standardized commit message. This way, you (and your co-workers) can still keep track of the origin of the commit and may avoid merge conflicts in the future. - If you have notes attached to the commit they do not follow the cherry-pick. To bring them over as well, You have to use:
git notes copy <from> <to>
