git-cherry-pick(1)
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-cherry-pick - Apply the change introduced by an existing commit
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git cherry-pick' [--edit] [-n] [-m parent-number] [-s] [-x] <commit>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Given one existing commit, apply the change the patch introduces, and record a
|
|
new commit that records it. This requires your working tree to be clean (no
|
|
modifications from the HEAD commit).
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<commit>::
|
|
Commit to cherry-pick.
|
|
For a more complete list of ways to spell commits, see the
|
|
"SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in linkgit:git-rev-parse[1].
|
|
|
|
-e::
|
|
--edit::
|
|
With this option, 'git-cherry-pick' will let you edit the commit
|
|
message prior to committing.
|
|
|
|
-x::
|
|
When recording the commit, append to the original commit
|
|
message a note that indicates which commit this change
|
|
was cherry-picked from. Append the note only for cherry
|
|
picks without conflicts. Do not use this option if
|
|
you are cherry-picking from your private branch because
|
|
the information is useless to the recipient. If on the
|
|
other hand you are cherry-picking between two publicly
|
|
visible branches (e.g. backporting a fix to a
|
|
maintenance branch for an older release from a
|
|
development branch), adding this information can be
|
|
useful.
|
|
|
|
-r::
|
|
It used to be that the command defaulted to do `-x`
|
|
described above, and `-r` was to disable it. Now the
|
|
default is not to do `-x` so this option is a no-op.
|
|
|
|
-m parent-number::
|
|
--mainline parent-number::
|
|
Usually you cannot cherry-pick a merge because you do not know which
|
|
side of the merge should be considered the mainline. This
|
|
option specifies the parent number (starting from 1) of
|
|
the mainline and allows cherry-pick to replay the change
|
|
relative to the specified parent.
|
|
|
|
-n::
|
|
--no-commit::
|
|
Usually the command automatically creates a commit with
|
|
a commit log message stating which commit was
|
|
cherry-picked. This flag applies the change necessary
|
|
to cherry-pick the named commit to your working tree
|
|
and the index, but does not make the commit. In addition,
|
|
when this option is used, your index does not have to match
|
|
the HEAD commit. The cherry-pick is done against the
|
|
beginning state of your index.
|
|
+
|
|
This is useful when cherry-picking more than one commits'
|
|
effect to your index in a row.
|
|
|
|
-s::
|
|
--signoff::
|
|
Add Signed-off-by line at the end of the commit message.
