   4 NAME
   5 ----
   6 git-cherry-pick - Apply the change introduced by an existing commit.
   7
   8 SYNOPSIS
   9 --------
  10 'git-cherry-pick' [--edit] [-n] [-r] <commit>
  11
  12 DESCRIPTION
  13 -----------
  14 Given one existing commit, apply the change the patch introduces, and record a
  15 new commit that records it.  This requires your working tree to be clean (no
  16 modifications from the HEAD commit).
  17
  18 OPTIONS
  19 -------
  20 <commit>::
  21         Commit to cherry-pick.
  22
  23 -e|--edit::
  24         With this option, `git-cherry-pick` will let you edit the commit
  25         message prior committing.
  26
  27 -r|--replay::
  28         Usually the command appends which commit was
  29         cherry-picked after the original commit message when
  30         making a commit.  This option, '--replay', causes it to
  31         use the original commit message intact.  This is useful
  32         when you are reordering the patches in your private tree
  33         before publishing.
  34
  35 -n|--no-commit::
  36         Usually the command automatically creates a commit with
  37         a commit log message stating which commit was
  38         cherry-picked.  This flag applies the change necessary
  39         to cherry-pick the named commit to your working tree,
  40         but does not make the commit.  In addition, when this
  41         option is used, your working tree does not have to match
  42         the HEAD commit.  The cherry-pick is done against the
  43         beginning state of your working tree.
  44 +
  45 This is useful when cherry-picking more than one commits'
  46 effect to your working tree in a row.
