### Cherry-pick tracking
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2675) in GitLab 12.9.

Each deployment's [list of associated merge requests](../../../api/deployments.md#list-of-merge-requests-associated-with-a-deployment) will include cherry-picked merge commits.

We only track cherry-pick executed from GitLab (both UI and API). Support for [tracking cherry-picked commits through the command line](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/202215) is planned for a future release.
