Git - Cherry-Pick and Advanced Merging

You want to cherry-pick commits c1, c2, and c3 from branch dev to main. However, c2 depends on changes in c1. What is the best approach?

ACherry-pick commits in order: c1, then c2, then c3

BCherry-pick c2 and c3 only, skipping c1

CCherry-pick all commits at once without order

DMerge the entire dev branch instead

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Recognize commit dependencies
If c2 depends on c1, applying c2 without c1 will cause errors or incomplete changes.
Step 2: Apply commits in correct order
Cherry-pick commits sequentially in dependency order: c1, then c2, then c3.
Final Answer:
Cherry-pick commits in order: c1, then c2, then c3 -> Option A

Quick Trick: Cherry-pick dependent commits in sequence [OK]
