Cherry Pick A Range Of Commits

Git's cherry-pick command allows you to specify a range of commits to be cherry picked onto the current branch. This can be done with the A..B style syntax -- where A is the older end of the range.

Consider a scenario with the following chain of commits: A - B - C - D.

$ git cherry-pick B..D

This will cherry pick commits C and D onto HEAD. This is because the lower-bound is exclusive. If you'd like to include B as well. Try the following:

$ git cherry-pick B^..D

See man git-cherry-pick for more details.
