(Note: I do know how to do this using the command line git client; this question is on behalf of a command-line-phobic co-worker who I am introducing to git via the GitX GUI application on his Mac)
I see that in GitX you can right-click on a commit in the commits-list and choose "Cherry pick commit into master"; but what I want to be able to do is the opposite: cherry-pick a commit from master into a (non-master) branch.
Is there a way to do this inside of GitX?
Matthias Leppich on the rowanj/gitx mailing list (atn github.com) sent me the answer to this question, so I'm quoting it here for the record:
@jfriesne you can 'cherry-pick' commits to your currently checked out branch. If you like to pick commits from master to another branch, you just need to checkout another branch before picking.
