[git] How to copy commits from one branch to another?

Use

git cherry-pick <commit>

to apply <commit> to your current branch.

I myself would probably cross-check the commits I pick in gitk and cherry-pick them with right-clicks on the commit entry there instead.


If you want to go more automatic (with all its dangers) and assuming all commits since yesterday happened on wss you could generate the list of commits using git log (with --pretty suggested by Jefromi)

git log --reverse --since=yesterday --pretty=%H

so everything together assuming you use bash

for commit in $(git log --reverse --since=yesterday --pretty=%H);
do
    git cherry-pick $commit
done

If something goes wrong here (there is a lot of potential) you are in trouble since this works on the live checkout, so either do manual cherry-picks or use rebase like suggested by Jefromi.
