The revision specification syntax (sometimes referred to as SHA1-expressions) is accepted almost everywhere in Git by almost every tool. Unfortunately it is only documented in git-rev-parse.txt, and most users don't know to look there. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

git-cherry-pick(1)
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-cherry-pick - Apply the change introduced by an existing commit
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-cherry-pick' [--edit] [-n] [-x] <commit>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Given one existing commit, apply the change the patch introduces, and record a
|
|
new commit that records it. This requires your working tree to be clean (no
|
|
modifications from the HEAD commit).
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<commit>::
|
|
Commit to cherry-pick.
|
|
For a more complete list of ways to spell commits, see
|
|
"SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in gitlink:git-rev-parse[1].
|
|
|
|
-e|--edit::
|
|
With this option, `git-cherry-pick` will let you edit the commit
|
|
message prior committing.
|
|
|
|
-x::
|
|
Cause the command to append which commit was
|
|
cherry-picked after the original commit message when
|
|
making a commit. Do not use this option if you are
|
|
cherry-picking from your private branch because the
|
|
information is useless to the recipient. If on the
|
|
other hand you are cherry-picking between two publicly
|
|
visible branches (e.g. backporting a fix to a
|
|
maintenance branch for an older release from a
|
|
development branch), adding this information can be
|
|
useful.
|
|
|
|
-r|--replay::
|
|
It used to be that the command defaulted to do `-x`
|
|
described above, and `-r` was to disable it. Now the
|
|
default is not to do `-x` so this option is a no-op.
|
|
|
|
-n|--no-commit::
|
|
Usually the command automatically creates a commit with
|
|
a commit log message stating which commit was
|
|
cherry-picked. This flag applies the change necessary
|
|
to cherry-pick the named commit to your working tree,
|
|
but does not make the commit. In addition, when this
|
|
option is used, your working tree does not have to match
|
|
the HEAD commit. The cherry-pick is done against the
|
|
beginning state of your working tree.
|
|
+
|
|
This is useful when cherry-picking more than one commits'
|
|
effect to your working tree in a row.
