Here is similar question.

git format-patch -k R1..R2

But I want only commits from current directory and removing relative path or change path at all

For example by doing:

git format-patch -k R1..R2 .

I get patches with ext/DbAccess/Mojolicious/Command/db_env.pm path. But I want Mojolicious/Command/db_env.pm because I am currently at ext/DbAccess directory.

Is this possible?

Doesn't `git apply` apply the patch regardless your current in-git directory? – terrorrussia-keeps-killing Apr 04 '21 at 05:42
@fluffy: is says that file `ext/DbAccess/Mojolicious/Command/db_env.pm` does not exists at current repository – Eugen Konkov Apr 05 '21 at 09:25
It was not really clear from your question assuming you only changed your current directory. I'm afraid you have to fix file paths before applying the patch. – terrorrussia-keeps-killing Apr 05 '21 at 09:32
