Sure, I’d be happy to help you with Cherry picking in Azure DevOps. Cherry picking is a process of selecting and applying specific code changes from one branch to another. It’s commonly used to transfer bug fixes or specific features from one branch to another, such as from a development branch to a release branch.

To cherry pick in Azure DevOps, you can follow these general steps:

1. Identify the Changes: Determine which changes you want to cherry pick. These could be specific commits, changesets, or pull requests.

2. Create a New Branch: Create a new branch from the target branch where you want to apply the cherry-picked changes. This can be your release or stable branch.

3. Locally Fetch the Changes: Clone the repository locally and fetch the changes from both the source and target branches.

4. Cherry Pick the Changes: Using a Git client, you can cherry pick the specific changes from the source branch and apply them to your new branch. The command might look like:

   bashCopy code

   git cherry-pick <commit-hash>


   Replace <commit-hash> with the actual hash of the commit you want to cherry pick.

5. Resolve Conflicts: There might be conflicts that arise during the cherry-pick process. Resolve these conflicts manually by editing the affected files and then committing the resolved changes.

6. Test the Changes: It’s crucial to thoroughly test the changes in the new branch to ensure they work as expected and don’t introduce new issues.

7. Push the New Branch: Once you’re satisfied with the changes, push the new branch containing the cherry-picked changes to Azure DevOps.

8. Create a Pull Request: In Azure DevOps, create a pull request to merge the cherry-picked changes from the new branch into the target branch. This step allows for code review and validation before merging.

9. Review and Merge: Reviewers can then assess the changes and approve the pull request if everything looks good. Once approved, the changes can be merged into the target branch.
