Is there a way to enforce '-x' when running git cherry-pick?

Is there a way to enforce '-x' when running git cherry-pick?

[Erez Zilber]

Hi,

Running git cherry-pick with the '-x' flag seems very helpful for me
when cherry-picking commits between branches on a public reporsitory.
Is there a way to run it with '-x' by default?

Thanks,
Erez

Hi

Not sure if there is an easy way to change the default behavior
without meddling with code. An alias which can take the same name as a
command may have helped (with possible downsides), but that does not
work apparently.

You can effectively create a different command name through an alias like this:
git config alias.cherry-pick-x "cherry-pick -x"

And henceforth use:
git cherry-pick-x
(You may use a shorter/different alias as might be convenient)
