Sometimes i want to cherry pick a commit, but i don't want the commit
message of this commit. What i  want is the patch corresponding to
this commit to be squashed to the top commit?

Now i have to type

git format-patch -1 --stdout  <sha1> | git apply --index && git commit --amend

How about

git cherry-pick --squash <sha1>

Hi Ping,

There is an easier way:

$  git cherry-pick -n <sha1>
$  git commit -a --amend

HTH,
