Re: [git-users] Newbie: picking a commit from another repo
I found this command: git fetch origin Could it work? I want to fetch some commits and then cherry-pick them in order to put them into my repo. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

Re: [git-users] Newbie: picking a commit from another repo
Hi, thank you for your answer. Creating a patch seems an interesting option. Do I still need to download the whole source code of C in order to create and apply a patch?

I'm guessing you used `git remote add`, not `git add`, right? I usually do use remotes to merge in changes from other clones. If you are worried about storage space you can always remove the remote after you are done and kick git into doing a GC. Another option is to create a patch file from the changes in C (look at `git format-patch`) and then apply them in A (using `git am`). /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence. -- The Peter Principle -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

[git-users] Newbie: picking a commit from another repo
Good morrow, I have got a git repo (which I'll call A) forked from another repo (B) and I need to pick a commit that another person applied to his repo (C) which is also forked from B (although this shouldn't matter right?). I'm sure that the commit I want to apply to my repo won't generate conflicts. How can I do that? I added C with git add etc. but when running git fetch it downloads the whole repo which is very large. Is there a way to pick a commit from C and apply it to A?
