## NAME

`git-rebase-patch` - Rebases a patch

## SYNOPSIS

`git-rebase-patch` <patch-file>

## DESCRIPTION

Given you have a patch that doesn't apply to the current HEAD, but you know it applied to some commit in the past, `git-rebase-patch` will help you find that commit and do a rebase.

## OPTIONS

<patch-file>
  The patch to be applied.

## EXAMPLES

Executing

    $ git rebase-patch test.patch

could give you something like that:

    Trying to find a commit the patch applies to...
    Patch applied to dbcf408dd26 as 7dc8b23ae1a
    First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
    Applying: test.patch
    Using index info to reconstruct a base tree...
    Falling back to patching base and 3-way merge...
    Auto-merging README.txt

Then your last commit has the changes of the patch and is named test.patch.
