stg-pick - Man Page
Import a patch from a different branch or a commit object
Synopsis
stg pick [options] [--] ([<patch1>] [<patch2>] [<patch3>..<patch4>])|<commit>
Description
Import one or more patches from a different branch or a commit object into the current series. By default, the name of the imported patch is used as the name of the current patch. It can be overridden with the --name option. A commit object can be reverted with the --revert option. The log and author information are those of the commit object.
When using the --expose option, the format of the commit message is determined by the stgit.pick.expose-format configuration option. This option is a format string as may supplied as the --pretty option to git-show(1). The default is "format:%B%n(imported from commit %H)", which appends the commit hash of the picked commit to the patch’s commit message.
