apply-patch(1)

✨ apply-patch(1) ✨ 🦋

NAME

okay bestie, so apply-patch is the one-liner that applies a patch to the current directory 💅 and it automatically figures out the patch strip level for you 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

apply-patch - apply a patch against the current directory, automatically detecting the patch strip level ✨

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

apply-patch PATCHFILE|URL

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so apply-patch is basically a cute little wrapper around the patch(1) utility 💜 and it's giving two major glow-ups over using patch(1) by itself when you just want to apply a patch, no cap 🔥

1. it automatically detects the patch strip level (the -p parameter to patch(1)) so you don't have to think about it, literally main character energy 👑
2. it takes the patch file as a parameter instead of making you pipe it in on STDIN 🧚

ngl this is the part I'm obsessed with: PATCHFILE can also be an http or https URL! 🦋 BUT only if you have the wget(1) utility installed 🙈

🍓 SEE ALSO 🍓

patch(1), wget(1) 🌈
