GIT-REBASE-PATCH(1)

✨ NAME ✨

ok so this is the manual page for git-rebase-patch — the git-extras baddie that rebases a patch 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

git-rebase-patch <patch-file>

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay bestie, picture this: you have a patch, and it is refusing to apply to the current HEAD. like, absolutely not cooperating. but you just know in your heart that it applied to some commit in the past, right? that's literally its whole thing.

so git-rebase-patch walks in, main character energy, and helps you find that commit and do a rebase. that's it. that's the vibe. periodt. 👑

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• <patch-file> — the patch you want to be applied. the one and only, the chosen one. no cap. 🍓

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

so you run this:

$ git rebase-patch test.patch

and it could give you something like that:

Trying to find a commit the patch applies to...
Patch applied to dbcf408dd26 as 7dc8b23ae1a
First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
Applying: test.patch
Using index info to reconstruct a base tree...
Falling back to patching base and 3-way merge...
Auto-merging README.txt

and then — slay — your last commit has the changes of the patch, and it's named test.patch. iconic behaviour fr fr. ✨
