cherry-pick -n
git cherry-pick -n applies the selected commit's changes to the current working area without automatically creating a new commit. -n is the short form of --no-commit. This lets you combine changes from multiple commits and save them as a single commit.

After git cherry-pick -n, the changes remain in the working area and no automatic commit is created. Once you inspect the changes, you can check their state with git status and save them using your own commit message with git commit.
