Question

So what does cherry-picking a commit in git mean? How do you do it?

Answer 1

cherry-pick is a Git feature. If someone wants to Commit specific commits in one branch to a target branch, then cherry-pick is used.
git cherry-pick steps are as below.

1. checkout (switch to) target branch.

2. git cherry-pick 
   

   Here commit id is activity id of another branch.Eg.

   git cherry-pick 9772dd546a3609b06f84b680340fb84c5463264f
   

3. push to target branch
