This is in contrast with other ways such as merge and rebase which normally applies many commits onto a another branch. git-cherry-pick – Apply the changes introduced by some existing commits.

In another word, Cherry picking in Git is designed to apply some commit from one branch into another branch. It can be done if you eg. made a mistake and committed a change into wrong branch, but do not want to merge the whole branch. You can just eg. revert the commit and cherry-pick it on another branch.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\nMake sure you are on the branch you want apply the commit to.\r\n\r\n\r\n$ git checkout master\r\nExecute the following:\r\n\r\n\r\n$ git cherry-pick \r\n\r\n#In this case, 62ecb3 is the cherry and you want to pick it!<\/span>\r\n$ git checkout master\r\n$ git cherry-pick 62<\/span>ecb3\r\nCherry picking a range of commits\r\n\r\nIn some cases picking one single commit is not enough. You need, let\u2019s say three consecutive commits. cherry-pick is not the right tool for<\/span> this. rebase is. From the previous example, you\u2019d want commit 76<\/span>cada and<\/span> 62<\/span>ecb3 in master. The flow is to first create a new<\/span> branch from feature at the last commit you want, in this case<\/span> 62<\/span>ecb3.\r\n\r\n\r\n$ git checkout -b newbranch 62<\/span>ecb3\r\nNext up, you rebase the newbranch commit --onto master. The 76<\/span>cada^ indicates that you want to start from that specific commit.\r\n\r\n\r\n$ git rebase --onto master 76<\/span>cada^\r\n# The result is that commits 76cada through 62ecb3 are applied to master.<\/span><\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> PHP<\/span> (<\/span>php<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
