I use "|". $ cd ~/linux-source $ mutt (select email with patch) |git am Git applies the patch to the current directory You could of course pipe to a file with "|cat 001-file.patch" Last note, from gmail, one can use the "show original" menu item, and save/copy-paste the text from there. git am would understand that.

I have configured mutt as email client.

But my configuration don't allow me to download Linux patch's from email.
I use mutt's standard functionality to get patches from emails which I did not have to configure IIRC. Depending on whether the patches have been sent inline (within the email text itself) or attached to the email I use two different methods.
Inline patches: I use 'C' (if there are multiple patches you can tag all the mail messages first and then use ';C') to copy all the mail messages to a mailbox file. This mailbox file can then be read by the 'git am' command which applies all the patches (including the commit messages) to your git tree.
Attached patches: Select the mail message, click 'v' and save the attached patches to disk with 's'.
Hope that helps. I would like to hear if other people have more efficient workflows (using custom scripts for example)!
Cheers,
Silvan
