Cherry pick a range of commit [message #1059923]

Hi,

I'm working with EGit 2.3.
I want to know if it's possible to cherry pick a range of commit.

For example, I've:

A -> B -> C -> D -> E -> F -> G -> H (dev branch)
A -> B -> C -> D (master branch)

I want to do a cherry pick with commit F and G (and apply them into my master branch).
The result on master may look like that:
A -> B -> C -> D -> F -> G

Thank you in advance for help

You could check out master branch, right-click on F and say "Cherry Pick" and right-click on G and say "Cherry Pick".

Selecting each commit and cherry-picking it is ok for two items but it doesn't scale; I would not want to do this for 20 commits, for instance. So it can't be considered a real equivalent to cherry-picking a range, which EGit doesn't appear to support.

In many cases it's easier to use 'rebase --onto <branch< <start> <end>' rather than any form of direct cherry-picking . But I don't think EGit supports that operation either.

You'll have to use command-line Git for now.

OK. Thank for your answer. Maybe cherry picking a range of commit (not only 2 or 3) will be possible with the next release of git.
