+=== Cherry-picking ===
+If a Pull Request contains multiple commits & you only wish to merge one of them in, then this can be done as follows:
+{{{
+# Create a temporary local branch
+git checkout -b cherry_temp master
+# Pull all their changes into this
+git pull https://github.com/their_username/eden.git their_branch
+# Switch to your master branch
+git checkout master
+# Select the commit you wish to pull-in
+git cherry-pick abc0123
+# Verify new commit in-place
+git log
+# Cleanup
+git branch -D cherry_temp
+# Push
+git push origin master
+}}}
