b4-shazam
Fetch a patch series and apply it to the current branch
TLDR
SYNOPSIS
b4 shazam [options] msgid
DESCRIPTION
b4 shazam does everything b4 am does (retrieve the thread, pick the latest revision, gather review trailers) and then applies the resulting series directly to the current git branch with git am. It is the one-step path from a message-id to applied commits in your working tree.With -M the series is brought in as a merge, and with -H b4 prepares a FETCH_HEAD so you can decide how to integrate it yourself. The name is a nod to retrieving and "playing" a patch series in a single command.
PARAMETERS
-H, --make-fetch-head
Apply the series to a throwaway ref and point FETCH_HEAD at it, so you can merge or cherry-pick manually.-M, --merge
Integrate the series as a merge commit instead of a linear git am.-v VER, --use-version VER
Apply a specific revision of the series.-t, --apply-cover-trailers
Apply trailers found on the cover letter to every patch.-l, --add-link
Add a Link trailer with the archive URL of each message.-s, --add-my-sob
Add your own Signed-off-by trailer to each patch.-P RANGE, --cherry-pick RANGE
Apply only a subset of patches from the series.-m MBOX, --use-local-mbox MBOX
Read the thread from a local mbox file instead of fetching it.
INSTALL
CAVEATS
The series is applied to whatever branch is currently checked out, so make sure you are on the intended base commit before running it. b4 tries to find the right base, but a mismatched tree can still cause git am conflicts.
