Stop Committing Too Soon With This Git Hack!

Need just one commit from another branch — but don’t want to commit it yet?

In this episode of Wait… Git Can Do That?, we show you how to use git cherry-pick -n to stage changes without committing.

✅ Perfect for bundling, editing, or staging carefully
✅ Keeps history clean
✅ Bonus: In GitKraken Desktop, cherry-pick visually and decide when to commit
