How can I copy one specific commit to another branch?

Question

I have 2 branches :

I checkout branchB, and fix a small thing while I am on that branch.

commit f2c88cad3d7648cad9c12e724d09db0952abec63
Author: Name <email>
Date:   Fri Mar 18 09:10:22 2016 -0400

    Fix small bug on dashboard

Then, I do git push origin branchB, but I should have done git push origin branchA branchB.

Now, in branchB I have

commit f2c88cad3d7648cad9c12e724d09db0952abec63

but I don't have it on branchA.

How do I copy that one commit f2c88ca into my branchA as well ?

You can use git cherry-pick command to copy commit to another branch. In your case, once you checkout branchA then do

git cherry-pick f2c88ca

Excellent! Just to clarify 'f2c88ca' is the actual commit name. – th3r1singking Oct 27 '16 at 21:03

When Git works , it creates magic.. if it doesn't it creates panic.. – Stunner Nov 12 '20 at 03:21
