Handling Conflicts
Cherry-picking might result in conflicts, similar to merging. When a conflict occurs:
1. Resolve Conflicts: Manually edit the conflicted files to resolve the discrepancies.
git status
Look for files marked as “Unmerged”.
2. Stage the Resolved Files:
git add <resolved-file>
3. Continue the Cherry-Pick:
git cherry-pick --continue
If you decide to abort the cherry-pick due to complex conflicts, you can use:
git cherry-pick --abort
How to cherry-pick Multiple Commits in Git?
Cherry-picking in Git allows you to apply the changes from a specific commit (or commits) to another branch. This can be particularly useful when you need to incorporate bug fixes or features from one branch to another without merging the entire branch. While cherry-picking a single commit is simple, doing so for multiple commits requires some additional steps. This article guides you through the process of cherry-picking multiple commits in Git, ensuring you understand the commands and their usage.
