Documented steps The working tree must be clean (no modifications from HEAD) before cherry-picking. Check out the target branch: git switch <target-branch>. Identify the commit you want: the parent commit's hash, e.g. from git log --oneline. Apply it: git cherry-pick <commit-hash>. Git creates a NEW commit on the target branch with the same change. Cherry-pick a range of commits: git cherry-pick <start>..<end> or git cherry-pick ^<start> <end>. After a conflict, resolve the marked files, git add them, then git cherry-pick --continue; to give up the whole operation use git cherry-pick --abort. To apply changes without creating a commit, use git cherry-pick -n (<commit>...). Known gotchas Requires a clean working tree; cherry-pick fails if you have uncommitted local modifications from HEAD. Cherry-picking a merge commit requires -m <parent-number> to say which parent is the mainline; otherwise it errors. By default no traversal is done, so git cherry-pick <commit> applies only that one commit; use a range for several. Use -x to append '(cherry picked from commit ...)' to the message — only useful when backporting between publicly visible branches. A commit made empty by the cherry-pick fails by default; use --empty=keep or --empty=stop to change the handling. Official doc: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-cherry-pick
