I have made changes lets say c1 c2 c3 c4 c5 c6 though respected bug b1 b2 b3 b4 b5 b6 bug number on branch b1, I want to merge only change c1 c3 c4 respected bug b1 b3 b4 to branch b2. how to do it through git command line and if conflicts come how to resolve it.

Answer 1

Your commits aren't in a position where they can be taken with a merge command, so your best bet is git cherry-pick . Use like this:

$ git checkout b2
$ git cherry-pick c1 c3 c4

If there are conflicts, you'll be prompted to resolve them interactively.

There won't be any tracking that they're in, so if you end up merging later on, those will show up as conflicts.1
