Hi,

Running git cherry-pick with the '-x' flag seems very helpful for me when cherry-picking commits between branches on a public reporsitory. Is there a way to run it with '-x' by default?

Thanks, Erez

Hi

Not sure if there is an easy way to change the default behavior without meddling with code. An alias which can take the same name as a command may have helped (with possible downsides), but that does not work apparently.

You can effectively create a different command name through an alias like this: git config alias.cherry-pick-x "cherry-pick -x"

And henceforth use: git cherry-pick-x (You may use a shorter/different alias as might be convenient)

Thanks Antriksh Pany
