Git cherrypick is a command that allows you to apply specific commits from one branch onto another. It’s commonly used when you need to include a bug fix or feature from a separate branch without merging the entire branch into your current working branch.
To use git cherrypick, follow these steps:
- Checkout the branch where you want to apply the commit(s) using
git checkout <branch-name> - Find the commit hash of the commit(s) you want to apply using
git log - Use the command
git cherry-pick <commit-hash>for each commit you want to apply - Resolve any conflicts that arise during the cherry-pick process
- Commit the changes with
git commit
It’s important to note that git cherrypick only applies individual commits and not their entire history, which can lead to inconsistencies in your codebase if not used carefully.
