Error in running 'git apply'

Question

Can you please tell me how can I resolve the \'patch does not apply\' error when I try to \'git apply-patch\'?

$ git apply 0001-my.patch
error: patch failed:test         


        

Answer 1

Or you may also want to rebase with main or origin

git rebase origin

Just to make sure you are on the same track with latest changes before you will start applying patches from other guys.
