Solution

git cherry-pick — Apply the changes introduced by existing commits to the current branch. To apply changes to another branch, first use git checkout to switch to the desired branch. More information: <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-cherry-pick>.

Apply a commit to the current branch:

git cherry-pick {{commit}}

Apply a range of commits to the current branch (see also: git rebase --onto):

git cherry-pick {{start_commit}}~..{{end_commit}}

Apply multiple (non-sequential) commits to the current branch:

git cherry-pick {{commit1 commit2 ...}}

Add the changes of a commit to the working directory, without creating a commit:

git cherry-pick {{[-n|--no-commit]}} {{commit}}
