How can i Cherry pick a commit of another branch using TortoiseGit without committing?


I can cherry pick a commit using bash

git cherry-pick -n <HASH>

But is there any way to do that by using TortoiseGit?


Solution

  • Checkout the branch on which you want to cherry pick the commit it. Then

    Now you basically have two options as the -n option is not directly available in TortoiseGit.

    1) Change the cherry-pick type from "Pick" to "Edit", start the cherry-pick and then, check the "Edit commit" checkbox, keep the commit dialog open, do your changes and then commit and finish the cherry-pick.

    2) Finish the cherry pick and then
