Questions tagged [git-cherry-pick]

This command applies the changes introduced by some existing commits.

Given one or more existing commits, apply the change each one introduces, recording a new commit for each. This requires your working tree to be clean (no modifications from the HEAD commit).

When it is not obvious how to apply a change, the following happens:

  • The current branch and HEAD pointer stay at the last commit successfully made.

  • The CHERRY_PICK_HEAD ref is set to point at the commit that introduced the change that is difficult to apply.

  • Paths in which the change applied cleanly are updated both in the index file and in your working tree.

  • For conflicting paths, the index file records up to three versions, as described in the "TRUE MERGE" section of git-merge(1). The working tree files will include a description of the conflict bracketed by the usual conflict markers <<<<<<< and >>>>>>>.

  • No other modifications are made.

See git-merge for some hints on resolving such conflicts.

Is it possible to auto-continue on empty commits during git cherry-pick?

Note: in thinking about this and looking over the git flow description again, I think I'm actually doing git flow wrong (making feature branches off of master instead of dev). Doesn't change my question, but before everyone starts jumping in to…

How do I change the author and author email for multiple commits?

This was a problem I wanted to solve. When I searched up this question, I saw answers using git filter-branch and git filter-repo. I can say with 100% confidence that git filter-branch is too slow and I don't like that it can change the same commit…
