git-am(1)
=========
NAME
----
git-am - Apply a series of patches in a mailbox
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-am' [--signoff] [--dotest=<dir>] [--utf8] [--3way] <mbox>...
'git-am' [--skip]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Splits mail messages in a mailbox into commit log message,
authorship information and patches, and applies them to the
current branch.
OPTIONS
-------
--signoff::
Add `Signed-off-by:` line to the commit message, using
the committer identity of yourself.
--dotest=<dir>::
Instead of `.dotest` directory, use <dir> as a working
area to store extracted patches.
--utf8, --keep::
Pass `--utf8` and `--keep` flags to `git-mailinfo` (see
gitlink:git-mailinfo[1]).
--3way::
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
locally.
--skip::
Skip the current patch. This is only meaningful when
restarting an aborted patch.
--interactive::
Run interactively, just like git-applymbox.
DISCUSSION
----------
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, just like 'git-applymbox' does. You can
recover from this in one of two ways:
. skip the current one by re-running the command with '--skip'
option.
. hand resolve the conflict in the working directory, run 'git
diff HEAD' to extract the merge result into a patch form and
replacing the patch in .dotest/patch file. After doing this,
run `git-reset --hard HEAD` to bring the working tree to the
state before half-applying the patch, then re-run the command
without any options.
The command refuses to process new mailboxes while `.dotest`
directory exists, so if you decide to start over from scratch,
run `rm -f .dotest` before running the command with mailbox
names.
