We can use commands like git log and git reflog to find some useful commits and cherry-pick them into the master branch. Sometimes, a Pull Request may be closed without a merge. Sometimes a feature branch may become obsolete due to changing requirements and not be merged into the master branch. Picking individual commits from abandoned branches In some Git workflows, you might create a bugfix branch based on the release branch, and then cherry-pick those commits to the master after merging in the release. In the above image, we’ve added some new commits to the main development branch master, fixed some bugs and merged in two bugfix branches, and then cherry-picked all the commits from the bugfix branch to the release branch.
#Git cherry pick remote Patch#
This new patch commit can be merged into the development master branch and then directly cherry-pick to the release branch to fix the bug before it affects more users, as illustrated below.
When a bug is found, we need to provide a patch to the released product as soon as possible, and also integrate the patch into the main development branch.įor example, let’s say we have a release and have started developing some new features, and during the development of the new features, an existing bug is found, and we create an emergency fix commit to fix the bug and integrate it into the development master branch for testing. Usually in a product Git workflow, there is at least one release branch and a development master branch. Usage Scenariosįrom the above command explanation, cherry-pick achieves a relatively simple effect, and it looks overlapping with merge and rebase, so let’s see the actual usage scenario of cherry-pick. The actual result is the creation of two new commits f' and g' in the master branch, which have different IDs from f and g.
