When would you use git cherry-pick? Follow:

Short answer: git cherry-pick lets you apply a specific commit from one branch to another, without merging the entire branch.

Explain a bit more

Example: Imagine you fixed a typo in the develop branch but need that same fix in main immediately. Instead of merging all of develop, you can just cherry-pick that commit: git cherry-pick 1a2b3c4 Real-world use case: Useful when you want to apply a hotfix or small bug fix without merging unrelated feature work.
