NAME

       notmuch-extract-patch - extract a git patch series from notmuch

SYNOPSIS

       notmuch-extract-patch [mbox-extract-patch(1) options] [--] QUERY

DESCRIPTION

       notmuch-extract-patch is a wrapper around mbox-extract-patch(1) to extract a series of git
       patches from your notmuch database.  It is designed to extract patches that were
       originally sent using git-send-email(1).  It skips cover letters and replies/reviews in
       its output.

EXAMPLE

           % git checkout -b test-feature
           % notmuch-extract-patch thread:000000000000265f | git am

LIMITATIONS

       We inherit limitations of mbox-extract-patch(1).

       notmuch-extract-patch can select patches to extract based on the reroll count (see -v in
       mbox-extract-patch(1)), but otherwise typical usage assumes that there is only one patch
       series in a thread.

       If this assumption is violated, you would need to construct a notmuch query that includes
       only the patches you want to extract, which somewhat defeats the purpose of having this
       script.
