Cherry-pick commits in Visual Studio 2019

New to VS 2019 and trying to split a larger change into several atomic commits. Say I have file.cpp:

Remote repo version

// Line 1
// Line 2
// Line 3
// Line 4

Local version

// Line 1a
// Line 2
// Line 3b
// Line 4

When I go to the Team Explorer tab, I can see that file.cpp has been changed. But I'd like to make two commits, one for Line 1a and a separate commit for Line 3b.

Is this possible in Visual Studio 2019? Or should I use an external tool such as git-gui?

As far as I know, it is not possible to do via Visual Studio 2019. Visual Studio, does not allow you selecting hunks or specific lines (of code), in a particular file to stage for commit. It always stages the whole file.

Even the documentation does not mention anything about it.

As you've mentioned. You can use Git-GUI. Which does exactly what you desire or any other tool. It can also be done via CLI, if you are in to it.
