471 Commits to cherry-pick.
472 For a more complete list of ways to spell commits, see
473 <a href=
"gitrevisions.html">gitrevisions(
7)
</a>.
474 Sets of commits can be passed but no traversal is done by
475 default, as if the
<em>--no-walk
</em> option was specified, see
476 <a href=
"git-rev-list.html">git-rev-list(
1)
</a>.
487 With this option,
<em>git cherry-pick
</em> will let you edit the commit
488 message prior to committing.
496 When recording the commit, append to the original commit
497 message a note that indicates which commit this change
498 was cherry-picked from. Append the note only for cherry
499 picks without conflicts. Do not use this option if
500 you are cherry-picking from your private branch because
501 the information is useless to the recipient. If on the
502 other hand you are cherry-picking between two publicly
503 visible branches (e.g. backporting a fix to a
504 maintenance branch for an older release from a
505 development branch), adding this information can be
514 It used to be that the command defaulted to do
<tt>-x
</tt>
515 described above, and
<tt>-r
</tt> was to disable it. Now the
516 default is not to do
<tt>-x
</tt> so this option is a no-op.
523 --mainline parent-number
527 Usually you cannot cherry-pick a merge because you do not know which
528 side of the merge should be considered the mainline. This
529 option specifies the parent number (starting from
1) of
530 the mainline and allows cherry-pick to replay the change
531 relative to the specified parent.
542 Usually the command automatically creates a sequence of commits.
543 This flag applies the changes necessary to cherry-pick
544 each named commit to your working tree and the index,
545 without making any commit. In addition, when this
546 option is used, your index does not have to match the
547 HEAD commit. The cherry-pick is done against the
548 beginning state of your index.
550 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>This is useful when cherry-picking more than one commits'
551 effect to your index in a row.
</p></div>
561 Add Signed-off-by line at the end of the commit message.
569 If the current HEAD is the same as the parent of the
570 cherry-pick
’ed commit, then a fast forward to this commit will

602 git cherry-pick master
606 Apply the change introduced by the commit at the tip of the
607 master branch and create a new commit with this change.
611 git cherry-pick ..master
614 git cherry-pick ^HEAD master
618 Apply the changes introduced by all commits that are ancestors
619 of master but not of HEAD to produce new commits.

627 Apply the changes introduced by the fifth and third last
628 commits pointed to by master and create
2 new commits with

638 by the second last commit pointed to by master and by the last
639 commit pointed to by next, but do not create any commit with
644 git cherry-pick --ff ..next
648 If history is linear and HEAD is an ancestor of next, update
649 the working tree and advance the HEAD pointer to match next.
650 Otherwise, apply the changes introduced by those commits that
651 are in next but not HEAD to the current branch, creating a new
652 commit for each new change.
656 git rev-list --reverse master -- README | git cherry-pick -n --stdin
