| 2 | ================== |

| 4 | NAME |
| 5 | ---- |
| 6 | git-cherry-pick - Apply the change introduced by an existing commit. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | SYNOPSIS |
| 9 | -------- |
| 10 | 'git-cherry-pick' [--edit] [-n] [-r] <commit> |
| 11 | |
| 12 | DESCRIPTION |
| 13 | ----------- |
| 14 | Given one existing commit, apply the change the patch introduces, and record a |
| 15 | new commit that records it. This requires your working tree to be clean (no |
| 16 | modifications from the HEAD commit). |
| 17 | |
| 18 | OPTIONS |
| 19 | ------- |
| 20 | <commit>:: |
| 21 | Commit to cherry-pick. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | -e|--edit:: |
| 24 | With this option, `git-cherry-pick` will let you edit the commit |
| 25 | message prior committing. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | -r|--replay:: |
| 28 | Usually the command appends which commit was |
| 29 | cherry-picked after the original commit message when |
| 30 | making a commit. This option, '--replay', causes it to |
| 31 | use the original commit message intact. This is useful |
| 32 | when you are reordering the patches in your private tree |
| 33 | before publishing. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | -n|--no-commit:: |
| 36 | Usually the command automatically creates a commit with |
| 37 | a commit log message stating which commit was |
| 38 | cherry-picked. This flag applies the change necessary |
| 39 | to cherry-pick the named commit to your working tree, |
| 40 | but does not make the commit. In addition, when this |
| 41 | option is used, your working tree does not have to match |
| 42 | the HEAD commit. The cherry-pick is done against the |
| 43 | beginning state of your working tree. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | This is useful when cherry-picking more than one commits' |
| 46 | effect to your working tree in a row. |
