GIT-APPLYPATCH(1)

NAME
git-applypatch - Apply one patch extracted from an e-mail

SYNOPSIS
git-applypatch <msg> <patch> <info> [<signoff>]

DESCRIPTION
This is usually not what an end user wants to run directly. See git-am(1) instead. Takes three files <msg>, <patch>, and <info> prepared from an e-mail message by git-mailinfo, and creates a commit. It is usually not necessary to use this command directly. This command can run applypatch-msg, pre-applypatch, and post-applypatch hooks. See [1]hooks for more information.

OPTIONS

<msg>
    Commit log message (sans the first line, which comes from e-mail Subject stored in <info>).

<patch>
    The patch to apply.

<info>
    Author and subject information extracted from e-mail, used on "author" line and as the first line of the commit log message.
