[Chinmay DasMohapatra]

Dear All,

Is there any way i can by-pass the commit hooks while doing a cherry-pick from some other branch?

Thanks

The -n/--no-verify option to 'git commit' inhibits the pre-commit and
commit-msg hooks. See git-commit(1). When doing a cherrypick I suppose
you have to use its -n option too to avoid creating the commit, i.e. the
sequence becomes:

git cherry-pick -n $COMMIT
git commit -n
