GitLab implements Git's powerful feature to [cherry-pick any commit][git-cherry-pick]
|
|
|
|
with introducing a **Cherry-pick** button in Merge Requests and commit details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Cherry-picking a Merge Request
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the Merge Request has been merged, a **Cherry-pick** button will be available
|
|
|
|
to cherry-pick the changes introduced by that Merge Request:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can cherry-pick the changes directly into the selected branch or you can opt to
|
|
|
|
create a new Merge Request with the cherry-pick changes:

|

|

|

|
## Cherry-picking a Commit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can cherry-pick a Commit from the Commit details page:

Similar to cherry-picking a Merge Request, you can opt to cherry-pick the changes
|
|
|
|
directly into the target branch or create a new Merge Request to cherry-pick the
|
|
|
|
changes:

Please note that when cherry-picking merge commits, the mainline will always be the
|
|
|
|
first parent. If you want to use a different mainline then you need to do that
|
|
|
|
from the command line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is a quick example to cherry-pick a merge commit using the second parent as the
|
|
|
|
mainline:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
git cherry-pick -m 2 7a39eb0
|
|
|
|
```
