 ### 2. Work
 
 Your AI agent works in the isolated worktree. Each worktree has:
+
 - Its own branch
 - Copy of your `.env` and secret files (or injected env vars)
 - Independent git state
 
 Run multiple sessions in parallel—each in its own terminal.

+#### Cherry-pick workflow
+
+As an alternative to creating a PR, you can cherry-pick your commits directly onto the base branch:
+
+```bash
+cry finish --cherry-pick
+```
+
+This will:
+
+1. Get all commits ahead of the base branch
+2. Switch to the base branch in the main worktree
+3. Cherry-pick each commit in order
+4. Push the updated base branch to origin
+
+This is useful when you want to bypass the PR workflow and apply changes directly.

 **Tracked files are never copied.** This is enforced, not optional.
 
 For a file to be copied to a worktree, it must pass both checks:

 1. **Not tracked** by git (`git ls-files` returns nothing)
 2. **Ignored** by git (listed in `.gitignore`)
 
 This means:

 - Your `.env` files copy automatically (they're gitignored)
 - Your source code stays in git (tracked files can't be copied)
 - Accidentally tracked secrets won't propagate

 ### Copy vs Symlink vs Inject

-|------|----------|
-| `copy` | Independent copies. Safe default. |
-| `symlink` | Linked to original. Changes sync everywhere. |
-| `inject` | **No files copied.** Env vars injected into commands. Safest for AI agents. |
-| `none` | Nothing copied. Set up secrets manually. |

 **Inject mode** is recommended when running AI agents:
+
 - Parses `.env` files and injects variables into hooks and agent commands
 - No secret files exist in the worktree for the agent to read
 - Non-dotenv files are skipped (or optionally symlinked via `injectNonEnv: "symlink"`)

 ### How do I prevent AI from reading secrets?
 
 **Best option: Use inject mode** (no files copied to worktree):
+
 ```bash
 cry spawn feat-auth --new --agent claude --mode inject
 ```
 
 Or configure it as default in `.cry.json`:
+
 ```json
 { "defaultMode": "inject" }
 ```
 
 For Claude Code specifically, you can also add to `.clauderc`:
+
 ```json
 { "deny": [".env", ".env.*"] }
 ```
