Cause git doesn't work that way. There is no trunk. It's all branches.

Oh, that's valid, and forks could be called "asexual propagation"

Cherry picking from one trunk to another could be called grafting.

There is already pruning.

If there is no AI used, it could be called GMO.

I'm not sure if there is a tree analogy for merging trunks together, however.

But that's not actually true in general; there is a default branch concept in forges, and an integration and/or release branch in most recommended workflows. That's the trunk.
