personally I do this: wget https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/166.patch review patch manually git apply —check…. then git am -s < 166.patch git rebase -i (to squash if needed and edit commit message…) git commit —amend allows you to edit the commit message, that’s where you add the “This closes #xyz” , remember to leave the original message… git push if applicable, make sure to cherry-pick to all branches concerned.
