There should be an option to select cherrypicking to one squashed commit or keep them one-by-one.

It should be possible at GitKraken client to cherry pick multiple commits. For now I need to do it at Git command line and it is annoying.

Selecting multiple commit should offer to either "do" this or "open selection in interactive rebase view", so the order can be changed there and squashing is possible.

I find it _very_ surprising that selecting multiple commits then rightclicking on one of them only operates on the one you actually right-clicked, instead of the entire set of selected commits!

This really needs better UX. Make sure batch operations are properly supported for the items in the menu, or don't show those items in the right-click menu at all if multiple commits are selected!

I'm also very surprised this isn't supported. Cherry picking batches of commits should be supported across the board. This would be a huge convenience to the versioning lifecycle process.

I ran into a need for this today, my options were:
- Manually cherry-pick a long sequence of commits
- Lookup the relevant git CLI command syntax (`git cherry-pick 7f545188^..a7785c10`), then get the actual commit SHA values for the start and end of the range to use.

The CLI output for me was:

```
On branch feat/add-cherry-commit-range-to-this-branch
Cherry-pick currently in progress.
(run "git cherry-pick --continue" to continue)
(use "git cherry-pick --skip" to skip this patch)
(use "git cherry-pick --abort" to cancel the cherry-pick operation)

nothing to commit, working tree clean
The previous cherry-pick is now empty, possibly due to conflict resolution.
If you wish to commit it anyway, use:

git commit --allow-empty

Otherwise, please use 'git cherry-pick --skip'
```

Nothing appeared to happen. But then I tried `git cherry-pick --skip` and got some more output of each commit being applied.

---

GitKraken could improve that UX? Seems like a feature it could support?

I regularly have a need for this.

Not sure it's a good idea to squash cherry-picked commits. Git will not recognize the squashed commit to be equivalent to the original cherry-picked commits and will cause conflicts headaches.

Support cherrypicking of multiple selected commits at once now and I'll pay to upgrade now

You guys have the time to create Boards and Timelines but can't implement this simple QOL suggestion in 2 years? C'mon now.

I thought Gitkraken has this feature, but actually not

At least stop moving the focus to the new commit would help. Currently cherrypicking multiple commits involves scrolling down again to the original commits since after each cherrypick the focus is moved to the new commit

What I personally do sometimes as a workaround is,

git cherry-pick <from-hash>^..<to-hash>

this will cherry-pick all commits from the first to the last commit hash, including the from-hash and to-hash.

Please vote this issue for yourself and ourselves.
This would be a huge convenience to the versioning lifecycle process.
Many free GitTools had this function already, it really makes our daily work more efficiently absolutely.

Really hope they add this soon. It would be a huge time saver when you need to recreate a whole branch because you made a messed-up merge a zillion commits ago. Right now the only two solutions I know of are:

- Take an eternity to right click & cherry pick every commit, making sure they're in the right order and you're not forgetting any
- Copy-paste the whole content of modified files in your new branch.

Our team frequently has to cherry pick from dev to release branches, which is pretty standard for many teams. How is this feature not implemented yet despite your own blog saying git does it as far back as 1.7.2?
