Step 1
Choose the source pull request
Start from the PR that contains the changes you want to move. The extension can infer context from the GitHub page or let you select it manually.
GitHub Cherry Pick Assistant
Workflow automation for GitHub teamsGitHub Side Panel Extension
Move pull request changes into the right branch without repetitive manual Git work.
Select a source pull request, choose the commits you need, target the correct repository and branch, and let GitHub Actions create the follow-up pull request for you.
1. Select source
Choose the repository and pull
request
2. Choose target
Pick the branch or destination
repository
3. Run automation
Dispatch GitHub Actions and track the
result
The extension keeps the review and decision-making
in GitHub, while the actual cherry-pick and pull
request creation run through GitHub Actions.

How It Works
From pull request review to follow-up PR in one guided flow
The extension is designed to keep the workflow inside GitHub: you review the source, choose the target, and let GitHub Actions handle the actual git operations.
Step 2
Review commits before execution
Inspect the commits in that pull request, select exactly what should move, and check for duplicates that already exist on the target branch.
Step 3
Select the target branch or repository
Choose where the changes should land, whether that is a release branch, a maintenance branch, or a different repository entirely.
Step 4
Dispatch automation and follow the result
GitHub Actions performs the cherry-pick, pushes the branch, opens the follow-up PR, and reports conflicts or partial results back through the workflow.
Key Benefits
Built for teams that repeat this workflow often
Use it for backports, promotions, and target-branch maintenance work without repeating the same manual Git steps every time.
Commit-level control
Review and select only the commits you want instead of blindly moving an entire pull request.
Execution visibility
Dispatch GitHub Actions, follow the workflow run, and inspect conflict summaries from the side panel.
Follow-up PR creation
Create the resulting pull request automatically after successful or partially successful execution.
Source-to-target flexibility
Work across the same repository or a separate target repository depending on how your team promotes changes.
