Question

I need like this cherry-pick <hash> dev master_copy

Answer 1

If you do not want to checkout something else consider using a worktree for that:

git worktree add blah master_copy
cd blah
git cherry-pick some-commit
cd ..
git worktree remove blah

It's an overkill but at least will allow you to cherry-pick without moving on the default working tree.
