I'm working on an old project relying on a game, but the game updated a lot and I need to update my project to the newest version. I've tried simply merging both Repos, but there are so many changes, it's just chaos.
I'd like to cherrypick every commit (a few hundred) step by step to make sure no unwanted changes happen and maybe add a few changes on conflicts.
So the vanilla repo tags looks like:
0.7.0
0.7.1
...
How can I cherry-pick every commit from each tag?
From https://git-scm.com/docs/git-cherry-pick
git rev-list --reverse master -- README | git cherry-pick -n --stdin
If you change the rev-list to
git rev-list --reverse 0.7.1 ^0.7.0
it gives you all commits before 0.7.1, excluding all commits before 0.7.0, so basically all commits between 0.7.0 and 0.7.1. See the use of ^ here: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rev-list#_description
Those commits you could then pipe to cherry-pick to do its magic.
