Git Cherry-pick

Cherry picking means to choose a commit from one branch and apply it onto another branch.

Here is an example of how to cherry-pick a commit:

1. Make sure you are on the branch where you wants to add a new commit.(where you wants to add a new commit)

git switch main_branch

2. Use git log to find the commit hash of the commit:

git log

or

git log --oneline  //for get 7 digits hash commit

or

//see commits to a specific branch(which branch commit you want to copy)
git log --oneline feature_branch

Copy the hash commit thats you want to cherry-pick

3. Execute the following command:

git cherry-pick <commit-hash>

or

git cherry-pick feature_branch~2

How to cherry-pick multiple commits:

If you want to pick all the commits from commit A to c(where A is older than c) run:

git log --oneline  //get 7 digits hash commit

git cherry-pick A^..C  //pick all the commits from A to C (including A)

If you need to exclude the first commit (Commit A in our case)

//If you want to ignore A itself
git cherry-pick A..C  //pick all the commits from B to C (exclude A)
