However, let’s assume that specific endpoint has not been added to master branch of the repo. To be able finish your test, you can (temporarly) add the commit(which includes endpoint implementation) into your current frontend-branch using cherry-pick. After you test the endpoint you may remove it. (or create new branch with includes the specific commit, using cherry-pick, then delete the branch, that’s much better)

To be able test the endpoint you can run the following commands:

$ git checkout frontend-branch
$ git cherry-pick f

After these commands here is the frontend-branch:
