When would you use git cherry-pick? Follow:
git cherry-pick lets you apply a specific commit from one branch to another, without
merging the entire branch.
Example:
Imagine you fixed a typo in the develop branch but need that same fix in main
immediately. Instead of merging all of develop, you can just cherry-pick that commit:
git cherry-pick 1a2b3c4
Real-world use case:
Useful when you want to apply a hotfix or small bug fix without merging unrelated feature
work.
