+# Cherry-pick changes
+
+_**Note:** This feature was [introduced][ce-3514] in GitLab 8.7._
+
+---
+
+GitLab implements Git's powerful feature to [cherry-pick any commit][git-cherry-pick]
+with introducing a **Cherry-pick** button in Merge Requests and commit details.
+
+## Cherry-picking a Merge Request
+
+After the Merge Request has been merged, a **Cherry-pick** button will be available
+to cherry-pick the changes introduced by that Merge Request:
+

+
+---
+
+You can cherry-pick the changes directly into the selected branch or you can opt to
+create a new Merge Request with the cherry-pick changes:

+
+## Cherry-picking a Commit
+
+You can cherry-pick a Commit from the Commit details page:
+
+![Cherry-pick commit](img/cherry_pick_changes_commit.png)
+
+---
+
+Similar to cherry-picking a Merge Request, you can opt to cherry-pick the changes
+directly into the target branch or create a new Merge Request to cherry-pick the
+changes:
+
+![Cherry-pick commit modal](img/cherry_pick_changes_commit_modal.png)
+
+---
+
+Please note that when cherry-picking merge commits, the mainline will always be the
+first parent. If you want to use a different mainline then you need to do that
+from the command line.
+
+Here is a quick example to cherry-pick a merge commit using the second parent as the
+mainline:
+
+```bash
+git cherry-pick -m 2 7a39eb0
+```
