How to apply a patch generated with git format-patch?

Question

I have 2 git local repositories both pointing to the same remote repository.

In one git repository, if I do git format-patch 1, how can I apply that patc

Answer 1

First you should take a note about difference between git am and git apply

When you are using git am you usually wanna to apply many patches. Thus should use:

git am *.patch

or just:

git am

Git will find patches automatically and apply them in order ;-)

UPD
Here you can find how to generate such patches
