only just found out how cherry picking works I love it
Nice, would you explain cherry picking to me, a dummy?
You can copy a commit that was pushed in branch 1 and paste it to branch 2

For some reason I thought cherry picking might be the ability to take any file from any commit on any branch and copying it to the current branch.
the pasted commit will be at the top of the history for branch 2
