How to cherry-pick multiple commits

Git 1.7.2 introduced the ability to cherry pick a range of commits. From the release notes:

git cherry-pick learned to pick a range of commits
(e.g. cherry-pick A..B and cherry-pick --stdin), so did git revert; these do not support the nicer sequencing control rebase [-i] has, though.

To cherry-pick all the commits from commit A to commit B (where A is older than B), run:

git cherry-pick A^..B

If you want to ignore A itself, run:

git cherry-pick A..B

Notes from comments:

• A should be older than B, or A should be from another branch.
• On Windows, it should be A^^..B as the caret needs to be escaped, or it should be "A^..B" (double quotes).
• In zsh shell, it should be 'A^..B' (single quotes) as the caret is a special character.
• For an exposition, see the answer by Gabriel Staples.
