An interactive terminal UI for git cherry-pick — browse commits, select what you want, preview diffs, and optionally create a GitHub PR. No gh CLI required.

cherrypick

GitHub Token (for PR creation)

On first launch, the app will prompt you to enter a GitHub Personal Access Token with repo scope.

Your token is stored securely in the OS config directory (via conf) and never hardcoded or committed.

To create a token: GitHub → Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Tokens (classic) → repo scope.

You can press t at any time to update your token.

Conflict Handling

If a cherry-pick conflicts, the app pauses and shows a list of conflicted files.

• Resolve conflicts in your editor
• Press c inside the app → git cherry-pick --continue
• Press a → git cherry-pick --abort
