Git cherry pick from another branch code#

That is, after you made commit C1 (whatever its actual hash ID was), the name master is a name for commit C1. This is also true for branch names, but with a couple of important differences:Ī branch name is expected to change over time.

You can make a tag name like v2.20.0, and its main function-or sometimes, one of two such functions-is that it replaces the need to memorize 5d826e972970a784bd7a7bdf587512510097b8c7. These true-names, by which Git accesses the object, are unweildy and useless to humans, so Git offers us names. This name is unique to this one commit (which is a commit in the Git repository for Git, so unless you have a Git repository for Git, you won't have this one commit). That is, each commit object has its own 'true name', which is a big ugly hash ID like 5d826e972970a784bd7a7bdf587512510097b8c7. (Note that git for-each-ref, the internal Git command for dealing with references in general, is particularly happy with slash-separated name components: git for-each-ref refs/tags/releases iterates over all the tags in refs/tags/releases/*, for instance.) More about tag and branch names When one particular commit, aimed at some release, has been verified by QA and is now being shipped, a tag name of the form releases/ name may be a good short name for that release.

Git cherry pick from another branch code#

Branch names of the form relbranch/ name may be good short names for organizing commits that will go into a particular release, whose name (or code name) is name. One sensible way is to use these slashes: feature/ name is a good short name for a branch on which you and/or others are developing a new feature whose name (or code name) is name. They're all separate entities, existing along side each other. You can continue to use feature/ to hold more names, and you can use featur without the final e, but you cannot create the name feature to identify an object, because feature/ exists because of feature/X and/or feature/Y.)

That name is now 'occupied' by the feature/ part of the other two names. (The exception here is that once you have the name feature/X or feature/Y, you can no longer use the name feature at all.

Making any change-including creating a new name or removing an old one-has no effect on any other name. The names feature/X and feature/Y are also entirely independent of each other. That is, the names A and B are entirely independent of each other. Moreover, there's no container/contained relationship between names (with one constraint inherited from the way Git implements these names currently). In Git, all reference names exist outside the set of commits. my goal is only to have tags from MASTER (and no other commits) showing in RELEASE
