cherry-pick merge

Understanding the Error
The commit hash 1d35bcb3bcfe02a5c772524e4be3d22eca5af4c5 is a merge commit. Merge commits have multiple parent commits (usually two), and Git needs to know which parent to use as the base when applying the changes. The -m option specifies which parent should be used as the mainline parent.

How to Resolve the Error
Identify the Parents of the Merge Commit

First, you need to identify the parent commits of the merge commit. You can do this by using:

bash
Копировать код
git show 1d35bcb3bcfe02a5c772524e4be3d22eca5af4c5
The output will show something like this:

diff
Копировать код
commit 1d35bcb3bcfe02a5c772524e4be3d22eca5af4c5 (HEAD -> branch-name, origin/branch-name)
Merge: abcdef1 1234567
Author: Your Name <your.email@example.com>

    Merge branch 'feature/xyz' into 'develop'

diff --git a/file.txt b/file.txt
index abc1234..def5678 100644
--- a/file.txt
+++ b/file.txt
@@ -1,3 +1,3 @@
The Merge: abcdef1 1234567 line shows the parent commits. The first hash (abcdef1) is usually the branch you merged into, and the second hash (1234567) is the branch you merged from.

Choose the Mainline Parent

Decide which parent you want to use as the mainline:

1: The first parent (abcdef1) is the branch you were on when you performed the merge (usually the destination branch).
2: The second parent (1234567) is the branch that was merged into the first (usually the source branch).
Most of the time, you would choose 1 to apply the changes from the feature branch into your current branch.

Cherry-pick with the Mainline Option

Use the -m option with the chosen parent number:

bash
Копировать код
git cherry-pick -m 1 1d35bcb3bcfe02a5c772524e4be3d22eca5af4c5
This command will apply the changes from the specified commit, using the first parent as the base.
