In the man page for git cherry-pick:
...
-x
When recording the commit, append a line that says "(cherry picked
from commit …)" to the original commit message in order to indicate
which commit this change was cherry-picked from. ...
-r
It used to be that the command defaulted to do -x described above,
and -r was to disable it. Now the default is not to do -x so this
option is a no-op.
...
Is there a config setting to locally set the default back to -x, and allow -r to disable it? I couldn't find one, but I may have missed it.

git cherry-pick is a powerful command that enables arbitrary Git commits to be picked by reference and appended to the current working HEAD. Cherry picking is the act of picking a commit from a branch and applying it to another. git cherry-pick can be useful for undoing changes.
Cherry-picking works by figuring out the patch—that is, the changes—introduced by a given commit and then applying that patch to the current branch. That might result in conflicts if the commit you decided to cherry-pick builds on changes introduced by an earlier commit you didn't cherry-pick.
Short of making an alias for git cherry-pick -x, no, this is not possible.
(Fun fact: The default was changed in commit abd6970.)

add this alias to your ~/.gitconfig by running:
git config --global --replace-all alias.pick "cherry-pick -x"
You can then simply run:
git pick abc123
You may replace the choice of "pick" to whatever word makes sense to you.
