To cherry-pick specific Git commits into another branch, you can follow these steps:
Switch to the branch where you want to apply the cherry-picked commits:
git checkout <target-branch>
Identify the commit(s) you want to cherry-pick. You can use git log command to view the commit history and find the commit hash for the specific commit you want to cherry-pick.
Cherry-pick the commit(s) by running the following command:
git cherry-pick <commit-hash>
You can cherry-pick multiple commits by specifying multiple commit hashes:
git cherry-pick <commit-hash1> <commit-hash2> ...
Alternatively, if you want to cherry-pick a range of commits, you can use the following command:
git cherry-pick <start-commit-hash>..<end-commit-hash>
Note: Make sure your working tree is clean (no uncommitted changes) before performing the cherry-pick.
If there are any merge conflicts during the cherry-pick process, Git will pause the cherry-picking and prompt you to resolve the conflicts manually. Open the conflicting files, resolve the conflicts, and save the changes.
Once you have resolved any conflicts, run git cherry-pick --continue to continue the cherry-picking process.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 if there are multiple conflicts until all cherry-picked commits are successfully applied.
Finally, push the cherry-picked commits to the remote branch:
git push origin <target-branch>
That's it! The specific Git commits should now be cherry-picked and applied to the desired branch.
