Cherry pick is faster and easier for me in the CLI. I’ve read Magit’s documentation on Cherry pick dozens of times and I still have no idea what it’s doing. I think I have successfully done it in magit once, but now I don’t bother and just do it on the command line.

For everything else I absolutely love magit. The ability to stage and commit chunks in a visual fashion is an unbeatable killer feature!

I do cherry picks in magit by:

1. Check out target branch

2. l o (log other) source branch

3. Highlight commits from list you want to cherry pick.

4. A A to apply the pick (I typically throw a -x flag into there too)

Thank you! That workflow makes sense. We’ll see if I remember that next time I Cherry-pick.
