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
gitlink: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 link:hooks.html[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.
