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 can one determine the committer of a cherry-pick in Git?

In Git, cherry-pick retains the original commit's author, timestamp etc, at least when there are no conflicts. But is there any way to determine what user performed the cherry-pick which brought that commit to the new branch?

In my project, I released a version several months ago. After that release, I have done many changes on the master branch. If I encounter some bugs which were there in the last release, I fix them on the master branch, then cherry pick them to the…

What is the Difference Between Git Cherry-Pick and Git Revert?

I still find the behavior of git revert somewhat confusing. After significant pain and misunderstanding, I learnt that git revert negates a particular commit rather than reverting to that commit. I have not used git cherry-pick so far. Can you…

Why does git show a conflict between two apparently identical added files?

I have a project that was started in TFS, then moved to Git. Unfortunately, the guy who moved it to Git just checked in the current files instead of using git-tfs. I'm trying to rebase his new commits in Git on top of the commits I pulled from TFS…

That might be a naive git question but here it is: Before doing a pull-request, I usually create a new branch from the latest commits in the upstream and cherry-pick the important commits from my development branch. Then make a pull-request from my…

Why would git cherry-pick produce fewer conflicts than git rebase?

I rebase often. Occasionally the rebase is particularly problematic (lots of merge conflicts) and my solution in such cases is to cherry-pick the individual commits onto master branch. I do this because nearly every time I do, the number of…

Git cherry pick a commit and place it below

From what I know, by default the cherry-pick command takes a commit and places it on top of the current branch. Is it possible to cherry-pick a commit in Git and place it below the current commit?
