Question

your colleague sent you a patch called fix names.patch, which fixes a config file called fix names.conf. what command do you need to run to apply the patch to the config file?

Answer 1

Assuming you are in the same directory as the patch file and the config file, you can apply the patch using the patch command. The command should be in the following format:

patch -i fix_names.patch fix_names.conf

This tells the patch command to apply the changes in the fix_names.patch file to the fix_names.conf file. The -i option specifies the input file as the patch file.
