Cherry Pick Pro

Cherry-pick commits from the chatbox-pro repo (pro remote) to the open chatbox repo, filtering out mobile-only changes and adjusting for repo differences.

Usage

/cherry-pick-pro [from_commit] [to_commit]

• from_commit: (optional) A pro/main commit hash to start from (exclusive). Must be a commit on pro/main, not an open-repo commit — see step 2. Defaults to auto-detecting the last synced pro commit.
• to_commit: (optional) The commit hash to end at (inclusive). Defaults to pro/main HEAD.

Workflow

1. Sync remotes first

bash
git fetch pro
git fetch origin

⚠️ Tag pollution: git fetch pro also fetches pro's tags (e.g. vX.Y.Z created on pro's release branch). These local tags point at pro commits, not open repo commits. Never push them as-is — see step 8.

2. Identify commits to cherry-pick

⚠️ The range bound must be a pro/main commit. The open repo and pro/main share no history (cherry-picks create new SHAs), so an open-repo commit hash as the lower bound makes A..pro/main return all of pro's history, not the increment.

Find the last synced pro commit by reading the cherry picked from pro commit <hash> footer that step 5 writes into each open-repo commit, then list pro commits after it:

bash
# last synced pro commit (the lower bound)
last=$(git log --grep="cherry picked from pro commit" -1 --pretty=%B HEAD \
  | grep -oE 'pro commit [0-9a-f]+' | awk '{print $3}')
git log "$last"..pro/main --oneline --reverse  # commits to pick

If no footer is found (first-ever sync), pass from_commit explicitly.

3. Analyze each commit

For each commit, check the files it touches:

bash
git diff-tree --no-commit-id --name-only -r <commit>

4. Cherry-pick rules

Files/directories to SKIP (delete if conflict):

• android/ - mobile-only, not in open repo
• ios/ - mobile-only, not in open repo
• capacitor.config.ts - mobile config
• .github/ - open repo has no CI; workflow/config differs (see step 8)
• CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md - pro-specific AI config
• .cursorrules - pro-specific
• .claude/ - pro-specific skills/config (including this skill itself), never sync to open repo

Package name differences:

• Pro uses: xyz.chatboxapp.app
• Open uses: xyz.chatboxapp.ce
• When resolving conflicts in package.json or release/app/package.json, always keep the open repo name (xyz.chatboxapp.ce)

Pro-only dependencies to remove if added:

• @playwright/test - pro testing only
• playwright - pro testing only
• @ruguoapp/jk-analytics - pro analytics only

pnpm-lock.yaml:

• Will almost always conflict. Accept either side, then run pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile at the end to regenerate.

5. Cherry-pick process

For each commit:

1. Try git cherry-pick <hash> directly first
2. If conflicts occur, use --no-commit and resolve:

• Remove mobile-only files with git rm
• Fix package name conflicts (keep ce)
• Remove pro-only dependencies
• Accept either side for pnpm-lock.yaml

1. Commit with original message + (cherry picked from pro commit <hash>) note

6. Finalize

After all cherry-picks:

bash
pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile  # regenerate lockfile
git add pnpm-lock.yaml
git commit -m "chore: regenerate pnpm-lock.yaml for open repo"

7. Verify

bash
git log --oneline <start>..HEAD  # review all new commits
pnpm install  # ensure deps resolve

8. Release (if syncing a version release)

The open repo has no CI workflows — releases are manual:

1. Push the sync branch to origin/main
2. Re-create the version tag on the open repo's commit. The local tag fetched from pro points at a pro commit — pushing it would leak pro's commit history into the open repo:

bash git tag -d vX.Y.Z # delete pro's tag fetched in step 1 git tag vX.Y.Z <open-repo-head> # re-create on open repo commit git push origin vX.Y.Z

1. Create the GitHub Release manually (no binary assets; notes = changelog + install links, copy format from the previous release):

bash gh release view vX.Y.(Z-1) --json body --jq '.body' # get template gh release create vX.Y.Z --title "vX.Y.Z" --latest --notes "..."

Version bump convention: only release/app/package.json gets the new version; root package.json stays 0.0.1 in the open repo.

Example

/cherry-pick-pro

This will auto-detect the last release on the current branch and cherry-pick all newer commits from pro/main.
