Testing a patch file is usually a two-step process. First you download the patch file from the source, and then you run a separate command to apply it.
|
|
|
|
You can save time and typing by running the two commands on one line:

|
|
{% block content %}
|
|
```language-bash
|
|
$ curl http://drupal.org/files/[patch-name].patch | git apply -v
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or, if you don't have curl installed, you can use wget:
|
|
|
|
```language-bash
|
|
$ wget -q -O - http://drupal.org/files/[patch-name].patch | git apply -v
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
These commands need to be run within the root of your Git repository (i.e. where the .git directory is).
|
|
|
|
These snippets were taken from [Applying Patches with Git](https://drupal.org/node/1399218) on Drupal.org.
