After the failed cherry pick, it says that no -m option was given. What can I do to make the cherry pick work?
Terminal:
git cherry-pick abcdeeee
error: Commit abcdeeee is a merge but no -m option was given.
fatal: cherry-pick failed

1The error message said that no `-m` option was given. Why didn't you just try adding a `-m` option? – Keith Thompson Aug 19 '16 at 15:52

You apparently tried to cherry-pick a merge, which is a specific kind of commit (a commit with 2 parents).
To cherry pick this kind of commit you need to specify the option -m
