but pick

This command allows you to pick individual commits from unapplied branches and apply them to your current workspace branches.

The source can be:

• A commit SHA (full or short)
• A CLI ID (e.g., "c5" from but status)
• An unapplied branch name (shows interactive commit selection)

If no target branch is specified:

• In interactive mode: prompts you to select a target branch
• If only one branch exists: automatically uses that branch
• In non-interactive mode: fails with an error

Examples

Pick a specific commit into a branch:

but pick abc1234 my-feature

Pick using a CLI ID:

but pick c5 my-feature

Interactively select commits from an unapplied branch:

but pick feature-branch

Usage: but pick <SOURCE> [TARGET_BRANCH]

Arguments

• <SOURCE> — The commit SHA, CLI ID, or unapplied branch name to cherry-pick from (required)
• <TARGET_BRANCH> — The target virtual branch to apply the commit(s) to
