The process of taking a portion of modifications made in a branch and transferring them to a distinct branch is called cherry-picking. It involves identifying the specific commit(s) containing the changes to be transferred, applying the changes to the target branch, and creating a new commit with the cherry-picked changes. This allows for selective merging of changes between branches and enables developers to maintain separate lines of development while still incorporating specific changes from other branches.
