How do I copy specific content from one Git branch to another?

  • 772

Let's say I have created two branches (apart from the main one), I'll call them branch-a and branch-b .

I am making commits in both branches and at a given moment I want to transfer the changes of a commit from branch-a to branch-b , changes that affect a specific file, how can I do this?

git

    If it really is a single commit that you want to push to the other branch, then you can use git cherry-pick .

    For example, if you wanted to take the commit content abc123of the branch rama-aand apply it to the rama-b, you would use the following commands:

    git checkout rama-b
git cherry-pick abc123
