how to apply multiple git patches in one shot

Question

I am having around 100 patches like below,is there a way to apply all of them in one shot?

0001-*.patch,0002-*.patch,0003-*.patch............

Answer 1

You can use git am, for example

$ git am *.patch

For all available options, checkout the man page.

Answer 2

To get one commit for all patches:

git apply *.patch
git add -A
git commit -m '<your message>'

Patches are applied in the order of the directory listing.

git apply has most of the flags of git am
