Fear not, for cherry-picking is the answer to your woes. This technique allows you to pick specific commits from one branch and apply them to another branch. As it is a common scenario in the software development lifecycle, Visual Studio provides an easy way to perform cherry-picks.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Cherry-Picking\"><\/span>What is Cherry-Picking?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cherry-picking is a baffling Git command that lets you choose specific commits from one branch and apply them to another branch. When you cherry-pick a commit, Git creates a new commit in the target branch that has the same changes as the original commit. Cherry-picking becomes handy when you need to apply changes from one branch to another without merging the two branches.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_Cherry-Picking\"><\/span>Advantages of Cherry-Picking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cherry-picking is a magical technique that provides several benefits, including:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Selective changes: You can cherry-pick specific changes from a commit history and apply them to another branch.<\/li>\n<li>Independent commits: Cherry-picking allows you to apply commits to a branch without merging the entire branch history.<\/li>\n<li>Efficient workflow: Cherry-picking enables developers to work on specific commits without affecting other team members\u2019 work.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Perform_Cherry-Picks_in_Visual_Studio\"><\/span>How to Perform Cherry-Picks in Visual Studio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Visual Studio makes it a breeze to perform cherry-picks using the Git Cherry-Pick command. Here are the perplexing steps to perform a cherry-pick in Visual Studio:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the Git Changes window: In Visual Studio, open the Solution Explorer and select a Git repository. From the menu bar, click on Git > Repository > Show Git Changes.<\/li>\n<li>Choose the source branch: In the Git Changes window, select the branch that contains the commit you want to cherry-pick.<\/li>\n<li>Select the commit: Right-click on the commit you want to cherry-pick and then click on Cherry-pick.<\/li>\n<li>Choose the target branch: In the Cherry-Pick window, select the target branch where you want to apply the cherry-picked changes.<\/li>\n<li>Resolve conflicts: If Git encounters any conflicts while cherry-picking, resolve them using the Merge Conflict resolution wizard.<\/li>\n<li>Commit the changes: After resolving any conflicts, commit the cherry-picked changes by clicking on Commit in the Cherry-Pick window.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>And voila! You have now performed a cherry-pick in Visual Studio.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cherry-picking is a perplexing yet powerful technique for developers when they need to apply certain changes from one branch to another without merging the two branches\u2019 entire history.
