Is there a way to run it with '-x' by default? Thanks, Erez ``` ## Antriksh Pany, 2010-07-05 05:11 Subject: Re: Is there a way to enforce '-x' when running git cherry-pick?

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 On Mon, Jun 28, 2010 at 9:25 PM, Erez Zilber wrote: > 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 > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at  http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > ```
