Hey @eliehassan, thanks for your suggestion! We are constantly trying to bring parity between our web, desktop, and mobile applications and this would seem to fall into that category. I will get this added to our internal list.

It's been a while so I'm just checking in to see if there is any update here. Thanks!

Hey @eliehass! I just checked, it is still in our internal backlog. I think a blocker may exist here: Desktop looks to perform a local git cherry-pick operation. This is inherently different than how mobile works: Desktop has local native git operation functionality while mobile has to rely 100% on our remote APIs for mutability. After looking through our API's, I cannot find any GraphQL mutations or REST endpoints which support remote cherry-picking capabilities. Digging a bit deeper, I am not sure I see any functionality exposed on the website which allows cherry-picking either. Usually (but not always) we will want to implement this level of functionality on the website before bringing it to our client applications (Desktop, CLI, mobile). I most certainly could have missing something here, is there potentially something I am missing on how this works on the web or APIs that you are aware of? If so, could you provide any examples?

You are correct, it is not available on the website either and it would be very helpful if it was. My main issue is that sometimes I need to cherry pick a commit one of my devs have made into a different branch when I am not on my desktop and being able to do that from the app/web interface would make things a lot easier.

Is there any plan to add a cherry pick button or feature to the website?
