Hello Cygwin community,
I've got a small issue. Out there in the oosphere there is mention of a
tool called "applypatch", and I went looking for it in cygwin pkgs. Using
the invocation
`cygcheck -f applypatch'
I don't find any packages that supply "applypatch" or "applypatch.exe" but
now when I am writing this I recall seeing some connection to `git', I just
can't reproduce what I did to stumble across that.
Try this command: git help apply
In addition to my question about "applypatch", I am wondering about
something else. I've got git version 2.45.1, and I am puzzled by the
existence of "git" in both /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin.
$ type -ap git.exe
/usr/local/bin/git.exe
/usr/bin/git.exe
Interesting. Because <your cygwin root>/bin is mounted on /usr/bin,
/bin and /usr/bin can be expected to be the same, but on my system
at least /usr/local/bin is different. You can use ls to see if they
are in fact the same file:
ls -li /usr/local/bin/git /usr/bin/git
Also:
$ cygcheck -p applypatch
