Cherry Pick with Git Extension¶
Cherry pick lets you select a commit from one branch and commit it to another.
You might want to do this when you want to incorporate some small changes but not all of the changes of a branch.
Cherry pick¶
I want to cherry pick one commit from feature/hlp-1 and commit it to master. Let's say that I want the first commit with the message "Added condition".
-
Checkout the branch you want to commit to (
master) -
Right-click the commit that you want to cherry pick.
A dialog opens.
Leave both check boxes selected.
-
Click Cherry pick.
The graph should now look like this:
Result¶
The commit that we cherry picked is now on the master branch, and it appears at the top of the graph.
Notice that this does not result in a merge. The commit is just added to the tip of the branch as if the work was actually done on the master branch.
