Difference between “checkout” & “cherry-pick”

Clone:

1. clone is for fetching repositories you don't have

Checkout:

1. Switching to a specific branch or a specific commit.
2. checkout is for switching between branches in a repository you already have.

Cherry-Pick:

1. Taking / picking only the changes of a specific commit on to the working tree. The changes will be merged with the code on working tree.

Pull:

1. Fetches the changes AND merges them into the local branch of the same name.

Difference between “checkout” & “cherry-pick”

• “checkout” fetch the code and head is moved to that commit. It does not merge with the

existing headed code.

• “cherry-pick” takes only the change of that commit and merge with currently headed code.
