how to spell git revision range with single endpoint

Question

I was lookin for range based on single commit to be able to do a cherry-pick

In manual for gitrevisions I'm reading

<rev>^-<n>, e.g. HEAD^-, HEAD^-2
           Equivalent to <rev>^<n>..<rev>, with <n> = 1 if not given.

But I cant use it. Any help?

UPDATE:

I want to be able to do something like

git cherry-pick <rev><some static tricks>

to cherry pick giver and its - say - three parents.

Answer 1

what I am getting from your question is that you want to cherry-pick multiple commits.

for cherry-pick multiple commits use

git cherry-pick commithashA^..commithashB

Here commithashA: is the starting commit hash and commithashB: is the last commit you want to cherry-pick.

Let us know if it resolved your problem. Or your problem is something else.

Thanks!
