Git · Middle · Question 7 of 75

What does `git cherry-pick <hash>` do?

1Moves the commit from its branch to the current one
✓Correct answer: Applies that commit's changes as a new commit here
3Marks the commit so it's included in the next release

Explanation

The original commit stays where it was; you get a copy with a new hash. A typical use is backporting a fix from main to a release branch.
