Git Cherry-Pick
If you do not want to merge an entire branch, you have the option to merge a single SHA or even a range of SHAs. To merge a single SHA, use this command:
|
git cherry-pick –x SHA |
|---|
I strongly recommend always using the "-x" when cherry-picking to automatically include a description in the new commit’s remark about what SHA was merged.
To merge a range of SHAs, use this command:
|
git cherry-pick –x SHA1..SHA2 |
|---|
This command will merge all the SHAs from SHA1 to SHA2. I find this option to be useful when merging only the beginning of branch, thus not merging the latest changes from a branch.
