How to get patches from e-mail client?

[Rock Lee]

Hi:
If I want to get a patch and use "git am" to merge it into my project,
how can I do? I mean I can copy and paste a patch from my e-mail
client, but it is too silly. Is there any way to save a email as a
patch?

Cheers,

Run mutt. Select the patch you want to download using up/down arrow key.
Press s. Delete the mailbox name provide using Backspace key and provide
path on local filesystem e.g. ~/patches/logical_name.patch. It will ask
to save, yes is default, so press Enter.

Now your patch is saved on local filesystem. Create a topic branch e.g.
Your on master,
git checkout -b work

Now you are on topic branch work, run as follows,

git am ~/patches/logical_name.patch

If you are on the right tree then it should apply the patch and commit.
If something goes wrong, please follow the instructions provided by git.

I think this will help.

In case if need you setting up mutt,
https://github.com/freeark1/something-to-share
Please follow above URL, there you will find muttrc and msmtprc.
Change settings in both files as it suits you.
Copy muttrc in .mutt directory in $HOME
Copy msmtprc as .msmtprc in $HOME
Install msmtp
NB: ca trust file location for debian based system is different.
If any doubt, please mail.

you can simplify this in mutt by adding:

macro index A '| git am -s'

to your ~/.muttrc 
To apply a patch simply move into the repository you want to 
work on open mutt and hit  A  at that email to pipe it into 
git am -s  and apply it.

Hi
Thank you guys, it works. But if there are series patches(like
[RFC][PATCH 00/13], [RFC][PATCH 01/13], [RFC][PATCH 02/13]....), how
can I merge them quickly? I mean, I don't want to save and merge these
patches one by one.
