The command "quilt push -a" is used to update the quilt series by applying all the patches in the series onto the specified directory.

Here is a breakdown of each part of the command:

  • "quilt" is the command-line tool provided by the Quilt patch management system.
  • "push" is a subcommand of the quilt tool used to apply the patches in a series onto a specific directory.
  • "-a" is a command-line option or flag that stands for "all" and instructs quilt to push all the patches of the series. It ensures that all patches are applied in sequence onto the specified directory.

In summary, the command "quilt push -a" updates the quilt series by applying all the patches onto the specified directory.
