How to copy a commit from one branch to another in git without any merging?

Question

I have 2 branches a master and an experimental. A shown:

master-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-Y
                  \
                   -x-x-x-x

My experimental is quite outdated and i was hoping to update it by simply copying the last commit in the master branch (Y) to experimental:

master-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-Y
                  \
                   -x-x-x-x-Y

If possible, I don't want to have to do any merging I want to overwrite anything in the experimental (master is my main priority).

Edit: Let me briefly explain the situation: When i try to merge commits at the tips of the master and experimental branch, I get a lot of merge conflicts! The same happens if i try to cherry-pick from the experimental onto the master! I was hoping to avoid them as i simply don't want any of the changes on the experimental! Up until now, I have been cherry-picking from master to experimental and when there are merge conflicts, I just keep changes of master branch. But after doing it many times, i was hoping that there may be some way in which i can do something like a merge except where (i am not prompted with any merge conflicts as master changes is all i need (for all I know it wouldn't matter what was previously on the experimental branch!

Answer 1

To cherry-pick just commit Y from master onto experimental:

git checkout experimental
git cherry-pick Y

Alternatively:

git checkout experimental
git cherry-pick master

...Will apply the change introduced by the commit at the tip of the master branch and create a new commit in experimental with this change.
