As this might not be obvious to all, tldr is a crowdsourced man-page replacement, and also really useful when working with git.

    $ tldr git cherry-pick
    
    Apply the changes introduced by existing commits to the current branch.
    To apply changes to another branch, first use `git checkout` to switch to the desired branch.
    More information: <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-cherry-pick>.
    
    - Apply a commit to the current branch:
        git cherry-pick commit
    
    - Apply a range of commits to the current branch (see also `git rebase --onto`):
        git cherry-pick start_commit~..end_commit
    
    - Apply multiple (non-sequential) commits to the current branch:
        git cherry-pick commit_1 commit_2
    
    - Add the changes of a commit to the working directory, without creating a commit:
        git cherry-pick -n commit
