Git Cherry-Pick

Git Cherry-Pick is a Git command that allows you to select a single or a range of commits from one branch and apply them to another branch, effectively bringing changes from one branch into another. This can be especially useful when you need to move specific changes from one branch to another without merging the entire branch.

The basic syntax for Git Cherry-Pick command is as follows:

$ git cherry-pick <commit-hash>

Here, commit-hash is the hash of the commit that you want to cherry-pick.

You can also cherry-pick multiple commits by specifying the range of commits to be cherry-picked. For example:

$ git cherry-pick <start-commit-hash>..<end-commit-hash>

This will apply all the commits between the start commit and end commit, including both of them.

There are a few things to keep in mind while cherry-picking commits:

• Cherry-picking creates a new commit with a new hash that incorporates the changes from the original commits.
• There may be conflicts while applying the changes, which will have to be manually resolved.
• If the cherry-picked commits have dependencies on other commits, those dependencies will have to be cherry-picked as well.

Cherry-picking can be an extremely useful tool when working with Git. With proper use, it can help you save time and streamline the Git workflow.
