bring a change from gerrit to local workspace without recording commit id and message

Question

I want to bring (like cherrypick) a change but I don't want to record commit message and/or change-id. Is there any way to do so?

My command from a gerrit site for cherrypick the change looks as follows, which I ran in my project repository:

git fetch ssh://review-androidsite.com:20000/xyz/project refs/changes/17/3442417/2 && git cherry-pick FETCH_HEAD

Do you want to "merge" the change with your code/branch or just "take a look" at the change in your local repository and throw it away after? — Marcelo Ávila de Oliveira, Apr 07 '21 at 13:32
I wanted to look into it and ultimately merge it into the existing latest commit using "git commit --amend". — Dr. Essen, Apr 07 '21 at 14:28

If you want to have the modifications on your disk, but not committed, use -n | --no-commit :

git cherry-pick -n FETCH_HEAD

Thanks, this worked! I was trying to understand from git documentation, but wasn't clear. – Dr. Essen Apr 07 '21 at 14:26
