[Sayantan Datta]

i received a patch file.
I did the following commands with it.

[sayantan@kenzo450D NoiseEstimate]$ git apply --stat nrestimate_cleanup.patch
NoiseEstimate.pro | 5 -
main.cpp | 26 +++
mainwindow.cpp | 331 ++++++++----------------------------------
mainwindow.h | 40 ++++-
nrestimate.cpp | 415 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
nrestimate.h | 62 ++++++++
[sayantan@kenzo450D NoiseEstimate]$ git apply --check nrestimate_cleanup.patch
[sayantan@kenzo450D NoiseEstimate]$ git am --signoff < nrestimate_cleanup.patch
previous rebase directory
/home/sayantan/WORK/samples/NoiseEstimate/.git/rebase-apply still
exists but mbox given.


[sayantan@kenzo450D NoiseEstimate]$ patch -p1 < nrestimate_cleanup.patch
patching file NoiseEstimate.pro
patching file main.cpp
patching file mainwindow.cpp
patching file mainwindow.h
patching file nrestimate.cpp
patching file nrestimate.h

[sayantan@kenzo450D NoiseEstimate]$ git push
Everything up-to-date


how to install the patch?

Did you commit the changes before trying to push ? I'm not sure if git forbids you from pushing when you have uncommitted changes, in which case, this question can be ignored ;)

[sayantan@kenzo450D NoiseEstimate]$ git push
Everything up-to-date

What does git status show you? I think you need to first

commit your changes before pushing.

SOLVED

I installed the patch using patch command, and then made the git add,
git commit and then git push. Worked perfectly. :)

Thanks everyone.
