# Cherry-picking a commit

1. **Identify the source commit** — a hash or a branch reference.
2. **Confirm the destination** — cherry-pick replays onto the branch currently checked out, so verify that is the intended branch before running anything.
3. **Execute** — `rtk git cherry-pick <commit-hash>`. A range is `<a>..<b>` (exclusive of `<a>`) or `<a>^..<b>` (inclusive); `-n` stages without committing, for when the replay needs editing first.
4. **Handle conflicts** — if the replay halts, offer resolution or `rtk git cherry-pick --abort`. Never resolve automatically without confirmation.
5. **Report the outcome** — which commits replayed, which conflicted, and which were rejected.
