When Cherry-Picking Might Fail
Learn how you can handle scenarios where cherry-pick might fail.
We'll cover the following
Cherry-pick not easily applied
A case where the cherry-pick is not easily applied is outlined below. It’s exactly the same as the run-through in the previous lesson. But this time, the “crazy change” is not added at the top of the file, but in a line affected on the other branch also.
1 mkdir lgthw_cherry_pick_2
2 cd lgthw_cherry_pick_2
3 git init
4 echo change1 > file1
5 git add file1
6 git commit -am change1
7 echo change2 >> file1
8 git commit -am change2
9 git log --all --oneline --decorate --graph
10 git branch experimental
11 git checkout experimental
12 echo crazy change >> file1
