Combine Advanced Cherry-Pick Options
Advanced cherry-pick operations let you apply changes without creating a commit, transfer a range of commits, and select a merge strategy. -n prevents automatic commit creation, two-dot notation defines a commit range, and -s selects a strategy.
git cherry-pick -n abc1234
git cherry-pick abc1234..def5678
git cherry-pick -s ort abc1234Practice Prepare Bulk Cherry-Pick Commands
Add three commands to the commands array in this order: apply commit 111aaaa without creating a commit, apply the range 222bbbb..888cccc, and apply commit 999dddd using the ort strategy. Print the array.
