Hi, Thanks for the quick response! I press "|" , I want to pipe to the git tree (which is /work/src/net-next). How do I tell pipe that the path of git tree is there? rgs Kevin On Tue, Nov 20, 2012 at 7:39 PM, Josh Cartwright <joshc@eso.teric.us> wrote:

Hi, I am following some kernel mailing lists (netdev and others). I want to be able to save recent patches and to apply the against a git tree.
I tried using MUTT client for this. I save the patch (which is almost always inline).
Then I run git apply --check patchName and git apply patchName and it applies cleanly.
But if I try: git am patchName
It gives "Patch format detection failed."
Any recommendation what to do to apply a patch with "git am"?
Kevin-
Just use mutt's 'pipe-message' feature, which is bound to '|' by default. Pipe the message directly to 'git am'.
