force git to accept cherry-pick's changes
I did cherry-pick from a gerrit review in my branch.
In gerrit code review, I have two patch sets and I cherry-picked patch one before, so now I want to do the second patch set, but there are conflicts, how can I force git to accept all changes?
Thanks!

You can tell it to always prefer the changes of the commit you are cherry-picking:
git cherry-pick commitish --strategy-option theirs
commitish can be a SHA-1 hash of a commit, or a branch-name for the lastest commit of that branch, branch-name~1 for the commit before that etc.
If you want to do the reverse, use:
git cherry-pick commitish --strategy-option ours
The shorthand for --strategy-option is -X (uppercase X).
you could brute force it with something like this:
git show cb1e6a:path/to/filename > path/to/filename
git add path/to/filename
git commit
but I’m sure there’s an easier way.
