Cherry pick using TortoiseGit

Question

How do I run the cherry pick command using TortoiseGit UI?

Answer 1

The above answers are also correct and I am just simplifying it.

If you want to cherry pick from one branch to another (for example: Branch_18.1 to Branch_18.4)

• Go to Branch_18.4 folder(repo)
• Right click and select show log, it will open a log dialog window
• In this window, at top left Corner click on Current branch Hyperlink (i.e. Branch_18.4)
• Now select the branch from which you want to cherry pic (i.e. Branch_18.1)
• Now select and right click on the commit which to be cherry picked and select Cherry pick selected commits.
• Now It may ask you to stash your changes if you have any changes in your working tree then in that case click on "YES" .
• Now Before pushing cherry picked changes, pull and then Push.

Considering 'release' branch is required to cherry-pick from 'master' branch, follow the steps as provided below:

Step 1: Checkout 'release' branch

Step 2: Click TostoiseGit -> Show log

Step 3: Filter Source Branch Commits to be Cherry-picked

On the Log Messages window, select the source branch from where the commits will be Cherry Picked (i.e. 'master' branch in this example). The branch selection can be done from top left of the 'Log Messages' window (as shown below)

Step 4: Select the Commits to be Cherry-picked

Finally select the commits and right-click the context menu to cherry-pick them.
