How Do I add a patch!

[alexluana]

Can someone pls teach me how to add a patch?

Where should I put the patch file?

What commands should I use?

Cheers

P.S> I searched the forum but I could not find...it might be somewhere but I am just blind to see it!

add = apply?

if it's a real patch (with hash, author, date and diff, generated using git-format-patch):

git am ../path/to/file.patch

if it's a raw diff (by git-diff):

git apply < ../path/to/file.diff
