I prefer to remain oblivious to many things. Two views of the Mississippi and all that.

Git works reliably and achieves my humble expectations. Thanks git.

But in reality I use about the same set of commands. The exception being ‘cherry-pick’ which I avoid solely on disliking the name.




what would you call it instead? or does the word cherry have some weird association in your mind?


cherry picking has a negative connotation in its most common usage.


sure but is it enough to avoid using it though? I don't like to get screwed in business, but I don't avoid the screwdriver in my toolbox when I need one.


No, it’s just weird and out of context. Just plain “pick” maybe.


maybe

    git alias --global pick cherry-pick
