Each of those cherries are commits on a Git branch.
I was working on my forked code base, and had made a bunch of commits on the master branch. When I tried to merge to the original code base, I realized that the PR needs to be from develop to develop
So, I need to move the cherries from the master branch to develop branch.
I thought I will just switch branches on my local using git checkout develop , and commit my cherries there. Did not work. build folders and everything else that I did not want to commit got committed instead.
The solution was to revert the commits / cherries from the master branch, jump to develop branch and cherry-pick those commit-hashes and then push those commits from the develop branch.
Representative syntax would be
git checkout master
git revert commit-hash-one
git revert commit-hash-seven
git checkout develop
git cherry-pick commit-hash-one
git cherry-pick commit-hash-seven
git push
