DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Reads supplied diff output and applies it on a git index file
|
|
and a work tree.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<patch>...::
|
|
The files to read patch from. '-' can be used to read
|
|
from the standard input.
|
|
|
|
--stat::
|
|
Instead of applying the patch, output diffstat for the
|
|
input. Turns off "apply".
|
|
|
|
--numstat::
|
|
Similar to \--stat, but shows number of added and
|
|
deleted lines in decimal notation and pathname without
|
|
abbreviation, to make it more machine friendly. For
|
|
binary files, outputs two `-` instead of saying
|
|
`0 0`. Turns off "apply".
|
|
|
|
--summary::
|
|
Instead of applying the patch, output a condensed
|
|
summary of information obtained from git diff extended
|
|
headers, such as creations, renames and mode changes.
|
|
Turns off "apply".
|
|
|
|
--check::
|
|
Instead of applying the patch, see if the patch is
|
|
applicable to the current work tree and/or the index
|
|
file and detects errors. Turns off "apply".
|
|
|
|
--index::
|
|
When --check is in effect, or when applying the patch
|
|
(which is the default when none of the options that
|
|
disables it is in effect), make sure the patch is
|
|
applicable to what the current index file records. If
|
|
the file to be patched in the work tree is not
|
|
up-to-date, it is flagged as an error. This flag also
|
|
causes the index file to be updated.
|
|
|
|
--cached::
|
|
Apply a patch without touching the working tree. Instead, take the
|
|
cached data, apply the patch, and store the result in the index,
|
|
without using the working tree. This implies '--index'.
|
|
|
|
--index-info::
|
|
Newer git-diff output has embedded 'index information'
|
|
for each blob to help identify the original version that
|
|
the patch applies to. When this flag is given, and if
|
|
the original version of the blob is available locally,
|
|
outputs information about them to the standard output.
|
|
|
|
-R, --reverse::
|
|
Apply the patch in reverse.
|
|
|
|
--reject::
|
|
For atomicity, gitlink:git-apply[1] by default fails the whole patch and
|
|
does not touch the working tree when some of the hunks
|
|
do not apply. This option makes it apply
|
|
the parts of the patch that are applicable, and leave the
|
|
rejected hunks in corresponding *.rej files.
|
|
|
|
-z::
|
|
When showing the index information, do not munge paths,
|
|
but use NUL terminated machine readable format. Without
|
|
this flag, the pathnames output will have TAB, LF, and
|
|
backslash characters replaced with `\t`, `\n`, and `\\`,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
|
|
-p<n>::
|
|
Remove <n> leading slashes from traditional diff paths. The
|
|
default is 1.
|
|
|
|
-C<n>::
|
|
Ensure at least <n> lines of surrounding context match before
|
|
and after each change. When fewer lines of surrounding
|
|
context exist they all must match. By default no context is
|
|
ever ignored.
|
|
|
|
--unidiff-zero::
|
|
By default, gitlink:git-apply[1] expects that the patch being
|
|
applied is a unified diff with at least one line of context.
|
|
This provides good safety measures, but breaks down when
|
|
applying a diff generated with --unified=0. To bypass these
|
|
checks use '--unidiff-zero'.
|
|
+
|
|
Note, for the reasons stated above usage of context-free patches are
|
|
discouraged.
|
|
|
|
--apply::
|
|
If you use any of the options marked "Turns off
|
|
'apply'" above, gitlink:git-apply[1] reads and outputs the
|
|
information you asked without actually applying the
|
|
patch. Give this flag after those flags to also apply
|
|
the patch.
|
|
|
|
--no-add::
|
|
When applying a patch, ignore additions made by the
|
|
patch. This can be used to extract common part between
|
|
two files by first running `diff` on them and applying
|
|
the result with this option, which would apply the
|
|
deletion part but not addition part.
|
|
|
|
--allow-binary-replacement, --binary::
|
|
Historically we did not allow binary patch applied
|
|
without an explicit permission from the user, and this
|
|
flag was the way to do so. Currently we always allow binary
|
|
patch application, so this is a no-op.
|
|
|
|
--exclude=<path-pattern>::
|
|
Don't apply changes to files matching the given path pattern. This can
|
|
be useful when importing patchsets, where you want to exclude certain
|
|
files or directories.
|
|
|
|
--whitespace=<option>::
|
|
When applying a patch, detect a new or modified line
|
|
that ends with trailing whitespaces (this includes a
|
|
line that solely consists of whitespaces). By default,
|
|
the command outputs warning messages and applies the
|
|
patch.
|
|
When gitlink:git-apply[1] is used for statistics and not applying a
|
|
patch, it defaults to `nowarn`.
|
|
You can use different `<option>` to control this
|
|
behavior:
|
|
+
|
|
* `nowarn` turns off the trailing whitespace warning.
|
|
* `warn` outputs warnings for a few such errors, but applies the
|
|
patch (default).
|
|
* `error` outputs warnings for a few such errors, and refuses
|
|
to apply the patch.
|
|
* `error-all` is similar to `error` but shows all errors.
|
|
* `strip` outputs warnings for a few such errors, strips out the
|
|
trailing whitespaces and applies the patch.
|
|
|
|
--inaccurate-eof::
|
|
Under certain circumstances, some versions of diff do not correctly
|
|
detect a missing new-line at the end of the file. As a result, patches
|
|
created by such diff programs do not record incomplete lines
|
|
correctly. This option adds support for applying such patches by
|
|
working around this bug.
|
|
|
|
--verbose::
|
|
Report progress to stderr. By default, only a message about the
|
|
current patch being applied will be printed. This option will cause
|
|
additional information to be reported.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
apply.whitespace::
|
|
When no `--whitespace` flag is given from the command
|
|
line, this configuration item is used as the default.
