curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/repository/commits/5937ac0a7beb003549fc5fd26fc247adbce4a52e/refs?type=all"

Cherry-pick a commit

Cherry-picks a commit to a given branch.

POST /projects/:id/repository/commits/:sha/cherry_pick

Parameters:

Attribute Type Required Description
id integer/string yes The ID or URL-encoded path of the project owned by the authenticated user
sha string yes The commit hash
branch string yes The name of the branch
dry_run boolean no Does not commit any changes. Default is false. Introduced in GitLab 13.3
message string no A custom commit message to use for the new commit. Introduced in GitLab 14.0
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" \
     --form "branch=master" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/repository/commits/master/cherry_pick"

Example response:

{
  "id": "8b090c1b79a14f2bd9e8a738f717824ff53aebad",
  "short_id": "8b090c1b",

  "committer_name": "Administrator",
  "committer_email": "admin@example.com",
  "committed_date": "2016-12-12T20:10:39.000+01:00",
  "title": "Feature added",
  "message": "Feature added\n\nSigned-off-by: Example User <user@example.com>\n",
  "parent_ids": [
    "a738f717824ff53aebad8b090c1b79a14f2bd9e8"

  "web_url": "https://gitlab.example.com/thedude/gitlab-foss/-/commit/8b090c1b79a14f2bd9e8a738f717824ff53aebad"
}

In the event of a failed cherry-pick, the response provides context about why:

{
  "message": "Sorry, we cannot cherry-pick this commit automatically. This commit may already have been cherry-picked, or a more recent commit may have updated some of its content.",
  "error_code": "empty"
}

In this case, the cherry-pick failed because the changeset was empty and likely indicates that the commit already exists in the target branch. The other possible error code is conflict, which indicates that there was a merge conflict.

When dry_run is enabled, the server attempts to apply the cherry-pick but not actually commit any resulting changes. If the cherry-pick applies cleanly, the API responds with 200 OK:

{
  "dry_run": "success"
}

In the event of a failure, an error displays that is identical to a failure without dry run.

Revert a commit

Reverts a commit in a given branch.

POST /projects/:id/repository/commits/:sha/revert

Parameters:

Attribute Type Required Description
id integer/string yes The ID or URL-encoded path of the project

branch string yes Target branch name
dry_run boolean no Does not commit any changes. Default is false. Introduced in GitLab 13.3
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" --form "branch=master" \
     "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/repository/commits/a738f717824ff53aebad8b090c1b79a14f2bd9e8/revert"

}

In the event of a failed revert, the response provides context about why:

{
  "message": "Sorry, we cannot revert this commit automatically. This commit may already have been reverted, or a more recent commit may have updated some of its content.",
  "error_code": "conflict"
}

In this case, the revert failed because the attempted revert generated a merge conflict. The other possible error code is empty, which indicates that the changeset was empty, likely due to the change having already been reverted.

When dry_run is enabled, the server attempts to apply the revert but not actually commit any resulting changes. If the revert applies cleanly, the API responds with 200 OK:

{
  "dry_run": "success"
}

In the event of a failure, an error displays that is identical to a failure without dry run.
