Cherry-pick not mark merge

Question

First, sorry, English isn't my native language.

A question:

• I have 2 branches in my local and remote repository.

  • 1 = master
  • 2 = branchTest

I did a commit in branchTest, and then I did a push to my remote repository at Bitbucket. In Bitbucket, it shows 1 commit ahead of branchTest, it's correct, because I didn't merge with master.

Then, I execute:

git checkout master
git cherry-pick commitNumber
git push origin master

This command makes merge between just single commit (commitNumber).

The problem: Bitbucket still show that exists 1 commit ahead of branchTest.

Question: Only merge mark that a commmits was merged?

When I execute git merge branchTest, bitbucket show merged done.

Answer 1

cherry-pick creates another commit, with anoter commitNumber so yes, only merge "mark that commit as merged"
