Hi Jan, hi Andrei,
i supposed that there is something like this. But i still need to learn a lot
about git before i feel really comfortable in using it, so i choose
the "manual" way. Next time i'll try the git-am command.
Thanks,
Henning
Patch series
like Jan sent, can be very easily applied with git am.
So instead of applying them by hand you could save them into a separate
mailbox (e.g. jan_patches_1) and then run git am on that mailbox,
e.g.: git am -s ~/jan_patches_1
This would apply all the patches saved in the mailbox and will use the
mail body as commit message.
-s is optional, it adds a Signed-off-by: commiter name to the commit
message.
Also patches like Jan sent are created using git format-patch. You
basically give it a commit range and it would generate mail-ready
patches.
Yes, also I keep those commits in a local repository which I intend to
publish somehow somewhere soon. Then you could merge changes from the
repository easily. The main reason why I was sending the patches was to get
some review by people who know the code better than myself.
