Cherry-Pick - CI/CD Glossary Definition

A cherry-pick applies one specific commit onto another branch without merging everything.

A cherry-pick applies a specific commit from one branch onto another without merging the whole branch. In releases it is used to pull an individual fix into a release branch.

The command git cherry-pick <commit> copies a commit as a new commit on the current branch, which can require conflict resolution.
