quilt command [options]

quilt manages an ordered series of patches against a source tree, allowing patches to be applied, removed, and updated independently. It maintains a series file listing patches in order and a patches/ directory containing the patch files, providing a structured workflow for maintaining modifications on top of upstream code.
The typical workflow involves creating a new patch with new, registering files to track with add, making changes, then saving the patch with refresh. Patches can be applied incrementally with push and removed with pop, and the entire series can be reordered or edited. Quilt is widely used in Linux distribution packaging to maintain downstream patches against upstream source.
