Take Commits Between Repositories

Source

Copy the commit hash

For example, I want to take this commit: eccde65

Replica

I’ll use term replica for other repositories that might use the same starter/components.

1. Add the source remote to the replica repository

   git remote add source https://github.com/mattummal/aether-design-system.git
   #              ^you can name it whatever you like
   

2. Fetch remote

   git fetch source
   #         ^or your remote name
    
   git fetch --all
   # ^if you're feeling lazy (fetch all available repo)
   

3. Cherry pick

   git cherry-pick eccde65
   

   If you have multiple commits to pick from, for example these 3:

   

   put the oldest commit first, the order matters

   ex: git cherry-pick 8cfc164 dee8c34 eccde65

4. Done

   

   it works even if you have other commits that are different from the source

Common Case: Conflict

It’s quite common, don’t panic

For example, you have a commit in the replica that changed PaginatedTable

And you also have a different change on the source’s commit eccde65

It will create a conflict like this

Solve them, add to staging, then continue the cherrypick

git cherry-pick --continue
