How can I selectively merge or pick changes from another branch in Git?

Question

I\'m using Git on a new project that has two parallel -- but currently experimental -- development branches:

• master: import of existing codebase pl

Answer 1

This is my workflow for merging selective files.

# Make a new branch (this will be temporary)
git checkout -b newbranch

# Grab the changes
git merge --no-commit  featurebranch

# Unstage those changes
git reset HEAD
(You can now see the files from the merge are unstaged)

# Now you can chose which files are to be merged.
git add -p

# Remember to "git add" any new files you wish to keep
git commit
