Normally, git either fetches all remote branches or only a specific branch with
git fetch <remote> <branch>, but most git servers cannot send a single commit.
Say you want to apply only a commit from CodeAurora Forum(“CAF”) but you do not know the branch it is on. E.g. source.codeaurora.org/quic/la/kernel/msm-4.9/commit?id=3186af9f3ece8d5d07a3d62cc1a64b448eab375b
You can get a .patch-formatted version of any commit by exchanging
/commit?id= for /patch?id=.
You can download that patch and apply it via git’s apply-mail function:
curl 'https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/la/kernel/msm-4.9/patch/?id=3186af9f3ece8d5d07a3d62cc1a64b448eab375b' | git am.
