This requires your working tree to be clean (no +modifications from the HEAD commit). + +OPTIONS +------- +<commit>:: + Commit to cherry-pick. + +-r:: + Usuall the command appends which commit was + cherry-picked after the original commit message when + making a commit. This option, '--replay', causes it to + use the original commit message intact. This is useful + when you are reordering the patches in your private tree + before publishing, and is used by 'git rebase'. + +-n:: + 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, + but does not make the commit. In addition, when this + option is used, your working tree does not have to match + the HEAD commit. The cherry-pick is done against the + beginning state of your working tree. + + This is useful when cherry-picking more than one commits' + effect to your working tree in a row. + + +Author +------ +Written by Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> + +Documentation +-------------- +Documentation by Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. + +GIT +--- +Part of the link:git.html[git] suite + |
