Apply a patch with a single key press from Gnus

Apply a patch with a single key press from Gnus

[Sebastien Vauban]

Hello,

I've seen some code to apply Git patches from Gnus [1].

That code should be updated to work for Org-mode, not to say for the
correct paths to my local repo.

Has someone done this already, or are you aware of a standard approach
in Gnus to apply a patch directly from the *Article* buffer?

Best regards,
  Seb

Did you try navigating to the patch, then typing

    RET C-s diff RET M-x diff-apply-hunk RET

or `diff-ediff-patch'?

On my setup, it prompts for the file, just as it would if I had downloaded 
the patch, opened it in diff-mode, and issued those commands.

HTH,
