 First it can be useful to look at the branches you have. I did this with the `git branch` command and as you can see the one with the asterik and in green is the branch I am currently on.

 I use `git lola` which is an alias:  `lola = log --graph --decorate --oneline --all`. I highly recommending adding this alias to your `.gitconfig`.

 Here you can see that I have the `cherry-pick-post` branch checked out, as indicated by the `HEAD` ref. I have made changes to the about section which I actually wanted to do on the main branch. So I will use `git cherry-pick` to make that happen. First you want to be sure you are on the branch that you want to put the commit on.

 I can see I am on the `cherry-pick-post` branch but I want the new commits to be created on `main`, so I will use `git switch` to go to the `main` branch.

 Now I am on the desired branch so I can go ahead and cherry-pick using the syntax `git cherry-pick <commit>`.

 To see what this did we will once again do `git lola`:

 Now the `Update about page` commit is on both the `cherry-pick-post` branch and the `main` branch. Note that the commit ID on the `main` branch is a new ID, but the original commit  on `cherry-pick-post` branch has the same ID as before.
 
 We will now push and look at the log again. 
 
-![](push-and-lola.png)
+![git push command shown at top of image followed by git lola command with 'Update about page' commit shown on origin.main, Head, main branch](push-and-lola.png)
 
 At this point `main` appears exactly as we want it to, but `chery-pick-post` still has the unwanted commit. 
 
 So at this point we will once again use the cherry-pick command to move forward. I will create a new branch called `cherry-pick-1` from the main branch.
 
-![](new-branch.png)

 Now at this point I want to take everything from the old `cherry-pick-post` branch and pick it to my new branch. 
 
 There are 3 commits that I want so I can actually pick them all a once. 
 
 `git cherry-pick 9e5da76 463956b 3edb3ee`

 Git gives a great summary of what is happening and shows the commits I am picking. 
 To see where I am at I will do `git lola` once again.
 
-![](lola-2.png)
+![git log showing head on new branch containing the 3 picked comits with new commit numbers](lola-2.png)
 
 At this point I have the 3 commits I want on my new branch so I can go ahead and push that branch. `git push -u origin cherry-pick-1`
 
-![](lola-3.png)
+![log after push](lola-3.png)
 
 Now I no loger want the old branch so I will delete it using `git branch -D cherry-pick-post` this will only delete it locally, so I will also need to do `git push origin :cherry-pick-post` to delete the branch from GitHub.
