The glossary is for git-gui, which has GUI items for "git pull" but not "git cherry-pick", currently. OTOH gitk has GUI items only for "git cherry-pick" but not "git pull", currently. > And I think a better translation for "pull" is > something that stresses the fact that "pull" = "fetch" + "merge", > something like "Holen und Zusammenführen". That's indeed an interesting suggestion. (Which bears the question why it is being called "pull" in English in the first place, when it should rather be described by "fetch and merge". Heh.) > > Cherry-picking is a specialized action and should thus get a specialized > > German word. > > I'm still unsure about this. But it's your choice. ;-) Yeah. I'm also not completely sure, but for now I'd still prefer "pflücken" over the other possibilities we've discussed so far.
