quilt: Import an existing patch from a file.
$ quilt import ${filenamename-patch}
try on your machine

The command "quilt import ${filenamename-patch}" is used to import a patch file into a Quilt series.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "quilt" refers to the Quilt command-line tool, which is a patch management tool for managing changes to a project's source code.
  • "import" is the action being performed by Quilt. It tells Quilt to import the specified patch file.
  • "${filenamename-patch}" is a placeholder for the actual filename of the patch file. It should be replaced with the name of the patch file you want to import.

In other words, this command instructs Quilt to import the specified patch file and include it in the quilt series. A quilt series represents a collection of related patches that can be applied to a project's source code.
