Because git is new for many of us, here's a short intro on how to cherry pick. From the command line =============== * do you changes on master * commit and push those changes * Use "git log" or the commit list, to know the commit id's of your commits * checkout the release branch: o only 1 module: + cd guvnor + git checkout 5.2.x o all modules at once + droolsjbpm-build-bootstrap/script/branches/git-checkout-all.sh 5.2.x 5.1.x * cherry pick every commit id you want to cherry-pick o git cherry-pick 5ab86f81ad10cd52f99496f2f5d8812176fc3a43 + If there's no merge conflict, you're done for this commit + If there's a merge conflict: # open the conflictingFile, fix it # git add conflictingFile # git commit -c 5ab86f81ad10cd52f99496f2f5d8812176fc3a43 * test if it works * push those changes * checkout master again o only 1 module: + cd guvnor + git checkout master o all modules at once + droolsjbpm-build-bootstrap/script/branches/git-checkout-all.sh master master With IntelliJ ======= * Checkout the release branches (as described above) * open bottom panel "Changes", tab "Log", click button "Refresh" (icon 2 yellow arrows), wait * select your change, click button "Cherry pick" (icon 2 cherries) * commit those changes. In the top right corner, make sure you select * test and push and checkout master again (as described above) With Eclipse ======== Idunno, but Egit is suppose to support cherry picking too :) -- With kind regards, Geoffrey De Smet
