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.

How do you `git cherry-pick --continue` with `--no-verify`?

How do you git cherry-pick --continue with --no-verify since --no-verify is not a valid option. git cherry-pick --no-commit --continue does not work since those two parameters are mutually exclusive.
