Sometimes you commit to one branch, when you meant to commit to another. Here’s how to grab the changes you need.
To cherry pick a commit, right click on a commit node and select the Cherrypick Commit option:
The cherry pick action is also available from Local on the left panel.
Here, cherry pick grabs the changes from the commit referenced by the HEAD of that branch, and places them onto the branch currently checked out.
Cherry Pick Multiple Commits
To cherry pick multiple commits, you can select multiple commits by holding down the Cmd/Ctrl or Shift key and clicking on the desired commits. Then, right-click on one of the selected commits and choose the “Cherry pick X commits” option.
Selecting the option to cherry pick multiple commits opens an interactive cherry pick tool that allows you to reorder (with drag and drop of mouse), squash, reword, or drop any of the commits selected.
Commit Actions
Pick
Pick takes the commits from one branch and places them onto the last commit of another branch.
Reword
When selecting reword you will see the Reword commit message modal open. Here you can edit the summary and description of your commit.
Squash
When you squash you are taking the child commit and in turn writing that commit to the parent commit. In order for squash to be an option there will have to be a parent child relationship.
Drop commit
Drop removes the commit from the branch, completes rebase and rewrites the commit graph.
