<h2>NAME</h2> | |
<div class="sectionbody"> | |
<p>git-am - | |
Apply a series of patches from a mailbox | |
</p> | |
</div> | |
</div> | |
<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2> | |
<div class="sectionbody"> | |
<div class="verseblock"> | |
<div class="content"><em>git-am</em> [--signoff] [--keep] [--utf8 | --no-utf8] | |
[--3way] [--interactive] [--binary] | |
[--whitespace=<option>] [-C<n>] [-p<n>] | |
<mbox>|<Maildir>… | |
<em>git-am</em> [--skip | --resolved]</div></div> | |
</div> | |
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2> | |
<div class="sectionbody"> | |
<p>Splits mail messages in a mailbox into commit log message, | |
authorship information and patches, and applies them to the | |
current branch.</p> | |
</div> | |
<h2>OPTIONS</h2> | |
<div class="sectionbody"> | |
<dl> | |
<dt> | |
<mbox>|<Maildir>… | |
</dt> | |
<dd> | |
<p> | |
The list of mailbox files to read patches from. If you do not | |
supply this argument, reads from the standard input. If you supply | |
directories, they'll be treated as Maildirs. | |
</p> | |
</dd> | |
<dt> | |
-s, --signoff | |
</dt> | |
<dd> | |
<p> | |
Add <tt>Signed-off-by:</tt> line to the commit message, using | |
the committer identity of yourself. | |
</p> | |
</dd> | |
<dt> | |
-k, --keep | |
</dt> | |
<dd> | |
<p> | |
Pass <tt>-k</tt> flag to <tt>git-mailinfo</tt> (see <a href="git-mailinfo.html">git-mailinfo(1)</a>). | |
</p> | |
</dd> | |
<dt> | |
-u, --utf8 | |
</dt> | |
<dd> | |
<p> | |
Pass <tt>-u</tt> flag to <tt>git-mailinfo</tt> (see <a href="git-mailinfo.html">git-mailinfo(1)</a>). | |
The proposed commit log message taken from the e-mail | |
is re-coded into UTF-8 encoding (configuration variable | |
<tt>i18n.commitencoding</tt> can be used to specify project's | |
preferred encoding if it is not UTF-8). | |
</p> | |
<p>This was optional in prior versions of git, but now it is the | |
default. You could use <tt>--no-utf8</tt> to override this.</p> | |
</dd> | |
<dt> | |
--no-utf8 | |
</dt> | |
<dd> | |
<p> | |
Pass <tt>-n</tt> flag to <tt>git-mailinfo</tt> (see | |
<a href="git-mailinfo.html">git-mailinfo(1)</a>). | |
</p> | |
</dd> | |
<dt> | |
-3, --3way | |
</dt> | |
<dd> | |
<p> | |
When the patch does not apply cleanly, fall back on | |
3-way merge, if the patch records the identity of blobs | |
it is supposed to apply to, and we have those blobs | |
available locally. | |
</p> | |
</dd> | |
<dt> | |
-b, --binary | |
</dt> | |
<dd> | |
<p> | |
Pass <tt>--allow-binary-replacement</tt> flag to <tt>git-apply</tt> | |
(see <a href="git-apply.html">git-apply(1)</a>). | |
</p> | |
</dd> | |
<dt> | |
--whitespace=<option> | |
</dt> | |
<dd> | |
<p> | |
This flag is passed to the <tt>git-apply</tt> (see <a href="git-apply.html">git-apply(1)</a>) | |
program that applies | |
the patch. | |
</p> | |
</dd> | |
<dt> | |
-C<n>, -p<n> | |
</dt> | |
<dd> | |
<p> | |
These flags are passed to the <tt>git-apply</tt> (see <a href="git-apply.html">git-apply(1)</a>) | |
program that applies | |
the patch. | |
</p> | |
</dd> | |
<dt> | |
-i, --interactive | |
</dt> | |
<dd> | |
<p> | |
Run interactively. | |
</p> | |
</dd> | |
<dt> | |
--skip | |
</dt> | |
<dd> | |
<p> | |
Skip the current patch. This is only meaningful when | |
restarting an aborted patch. | |
</p> | |
</dd> | |
<dt> | |
-r, --resolved | |
</dt> | |
<dd> | |
<p> | |
After a patch failure (e.g. attempting to apply | |
conflicting patch), the user has applied it by hand and | |
the index file stores the result of the application. | |
Make a commit using the authorship and commit log | |
extracted from the e-mail message and the current index | |
file, and continue. | |
</p> | |
</dd> | |
<dt> | |
--resolvemsg=<msg> | |
</dt> | |
<dd> | |
<p> | |
When a patch failure occurs, <msg> will be printed | |
to the screen before exiting. This overrides the | |
standard message informing you to use <tt>--resolved</tt> | |
or <tt>--skip</tt> to handle the failure. This is solely | |
for internal use between <tt>git-rebase</tt> and <tt>git-am</tt>. | |
</p> | |
</dd> | |
</dl> | |
</div> | |
<h2>DISCUSSION</h2> | |
<div class="sectionbody"> | |
<p>The commit author name is taken from the "From: " line of the | |
message, and commit author time is taken from the "Date: " line | |
of the message. The "Subject: " line is used as the title of | |
the commit, after stripping common prefix "[PATCH <anything>]". | |
It is supposed to describe what the commit is about concisely as | |
a one line text.</p> | |
<p>The body of the message (iow, after a blank line that terminates | |
RFC2822 headers) can begin with "Subject: " and "From: " lines | |
that are different from those of the mail header, to override | |
the values of these fields.</p> | |
<p>The commit message is formed by the title taken from the | |
"Subject: ", a blank line and the body of the message up to | |
where the patch begins. Excess whitespaces at the end of the | |
lines are automatically stripped.</p> | |
<p>The patch is expected to be inline, directly following the | |
message. Any line that is of form:</p> | |
<ul> | |
<li> | |
<p> | |
three-dashes and end-of-line, or | |
</p> | |
</li> | |
<li> | |
<p> | |
a line that begins with "diff -", or | |
</p> | |
</li> | |
<li> | |
<p> | |
a line that begins with "Index: " | |
</p> | |
</li> | |
</ul> | |
<p>is taken as the beginning of a patch, and the commit log message | |
is terminated before the first occurrence of such a line.</p> | |
<p>When initially invoking it, you give it names of the mailboxes | |
to crunch. Upon seeing the first patch that does not apply, it | |
aborts in the middle,. You can recover from this in one of two ways:</p> | |
<ol> | |
<li> | |
<p> | |
skip the current patch by re-running the command with <em>--skip</em> | |
option. | |
</p> | |
</li> | |
<li> | |
<p> | |
hand resolve the conflict in the working directory, and update | |
the index file to bring it in a state that the patch should | |
have produced. Then run the command with <em>--resolved</em> option. | |
</p> | |
</li> | |
</ol> | |
<p>The command refuses to process new mailboxes while <tt>.dotest</tt> | |
directory exists, so if you decide to start over from scratch, | |
run <tt>rm -f -r .dotest</tt> before running the command with mailbox | |
names.</p> | |
