cherry-pick: use better advice message "git cherry-pick", upon seeing a conflict, says: hint: after resolving the conflicts, mark the corrected paths hint: with 'git add <paths>' or 'git rm <paths>' hint: and commit the result with 'git commit' as if running "git commit" to conclude the resolution of this single step were the end of the story. This stems from the fact that the command originally was to pick a single commit and not a range of commits, and the message was written back then and has not been adjusted. When picking a range of commits and the command stops with a conflict in the middle of the range, however, after resolving the conflict and (optionally) recording the result with "git commit", the user has to run "git cherry-pick --continue" to have the rest of the range dealt with, "--skip" to drop the current commit, or "--abort" to discard the series. Suggest use of "git cherry-pick --continue/--skip/--abort" so that the message also covers the case where a range of commits are being picked. Similarly, this optimization can be applied to git revert, suggest use of "git revert --continue/--skip/--abort" so that the message also covers the case where a range of commits are being reverted. It is worth mentioning that now we use advice() to print the content of GIT_CHERRY_PICK_HELP in print_advice(), each line of output will start with "hint: ".

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
