git-am, git-apply: add and tweak remote patch examples (#10019)
`curl` now uses the `-L` option to follow redirects, which is required
when applying patch files from GitHub URLs. The example was also added
to `git-am` where it works too.

The difference between `git-am` and `git-apply` was also clarified in each
command's description.

git am

Apply patch files and create a commit. Useful when receiving commits via email. See also git format-patch, which can generate patch files. More information: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-am.

  • Apply and commit changes following a local patch file:

git am {{path/to/file.patch}}

  • Apply and commit changes following a remote patch file:

curl -L {{https://example.com/file.patch}} | git apply

  • Abort the process of applying a patch file:

git am --abort

  • Apply as much of a patch file as possible, saving failed hunks to reject files:

git am --reject {{path/to/file.patch}}
