How to cherry-pick multiple commits
Git 1.7.2 introduced the ability to cherry pick a range of commits. From the release notes:
git cherry-picklearned to pick a range of commits (e.g.cherry-pick A..Bandcherry-pick --stdin), so didgit revert; these do not support the nicer sequencing controlrebase [-i]has, though.
To cherry-pick all the commits from commit A to commit B (where A is older than B), run:
git cherry-pick A^..BIf you want to ignore A itself, run:
git cherry-pick A..B(Credit goes to damian, J. B. Rainsberger and sschaef in the comments)
The simplest way to do this is with the onto option to rebase. Suppose that the branch which current finishes at a is called mybranch and this is the branch that you want to move c-f onto.
# checkout mybranchgit checkout mybranch# reset it to f (currently includes a)git reset --hard f# rebase every commit after b and transplant it onto agit rebase --onto a b
If you have selective revisions to merge, say A, C, F, J from A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J commits, simply use below command:
git cherry-pick A C F J
