Git Cherry Pick Using Commit Hash

If you have one branch with a couple of commits and you want to pick one or some of them, the git cherry-pick command does it for you. It doesn't matter which one you want for example at the very beginning or end or in the nth position. You will not lose anything, there is no need to hard reset, revert or rebase. It's gonna be super simple.

Step 1. Checkout the branch you want to apply the commit (ex. master)?
git checkout master 

Step 2. Run cherry pick command with your commit hash
git cherry-pick <commit-hash>
