Help applying patch

[Stabatha]

I am trying to apply a patch under the new git system using Msysgit for windows. I received the latest build fine, but patching I get an error.

Patches should go in the root of your source folder. For example:

/home/mangos/source/

Put it into source. Then run the patch command and all should be well

I have tried the git apply and it says no such file or directory.

What are the commands to patch mangos with the jail.patch and

set starting money from config.patch or the ahbot.patch

With svn this was fast and easy. Now you can't patch mangos git with svn.

At this point I would like to roll back to the old way and stop staying up with the latest. git is just a pain. There should be a guide to git with all the commands and examples to use them.

1) There are tons of examples, use search

2) You need to understand path specification (like ".." is one directory back, "directory1/directory2/file.txt" and so on ... Windows Explorer uses silimar style, with backslashes however.

If you get this, there's pretty no way to don't understand what to do.

You are cloning the mangos repo, but not going into the actual folder you cloned into.

so it should be:

$ git clone git://github.com/mangos/mangos.git
(it does its thing)
$ cd mangos 
$ git am <path/to/file/patch.patch>

edit; I guess I should read all the replies before going through all that... answered twice
