Git/GitHub - How can I add a user's commit into local repo?


I am a noob when it comes to git/github, I am very confused on how to use it, I have tried to watch videos and read guides but none seems to cover what I want to do.

Basically, Ive cloned dolphin-emu from GitHub using git on commandline and I want to add another user's commits that were for dolphin-emu (it never made it into master and probably never will) but to the repo that I cloned and is stored locally. Do I just do a normal git commit command or? I can't seem to get it to work.

These are the commits, https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolph...l/1775/commits

How do...How in the world do I go about adding these commits? Can I do it through GitHub? Do I need to use git on terminal?

Right click on the commit's title or id, then "Copy link location". In a terminal type "wget <click to paste>.patch"

In other words, just adding the .patch suffix to the link to the commit makes of it a downloadable patch.

Linux Lugcast recently had an episode devoted to git and github. One of the regulars was helping another regular sort out some issues. I can't guarantee that you will find it helpful, but you well might: http://linuxlugcast.com/?p=405

I am not sure if it is right but you could try git cherry-pick command and see if it works .
