1git-apply(1) 2============ 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-apply - Apply patch on a git index file and a work tree 7 8 9SYNOPSIS 10-------- 11'git-apply' [--stat] [--summary] [--check] [--index] [--apply] [--index-info] [-z] [<patch>...] 12 13DESCRIPTION 14----------- 15Reads supplied diff output and applies it on a git index file 16and a work tree. 17 18OPTIONS 19------- 20<patch>...:: 21 The files to read patch from. '-' can be used to read 22 from the standard input. 23 24--stat:: 25 Instead of applying the patch, output diffstat for the 26 input. Turns off "apply". 27 28--summary:: 29 Instead of applying the patch, output a condensed 30 summary of information obtained from git diff extended 31 headers, such as creations, renames and mode changes. 32 Turns off "apply". 33 34--check:: 35 Instead of applying the patch, see if the patch is 36 applicable to the current work tree and/or the index 37 file and detects errors. Turns off "apply". 38 39--index:: 40 When --check is in effect, or when applying the patch 41 (which is the default when none of the options that 42 disables it is in effect), make sure the patch is 43 applicable to what the current index file records. If 44 the file to be patched in the work tree is not 45 up-to-date, it is flagged as an error. This flag also 46 causes the index file to be updated. 47 48--index-info:: 49 Newer git-diff output has embedded 'index information' 50 for each blob to help identify the original version that 51 the patch applies to. When this flag is given, and if 52 the original version of the blob is available locally, 53 outputs information about them to the standard output. 54 55-z:: 56 When showing the index information, do not munge paths, 57 but use NUL terminated machine readable format. Without 58 this flag, the pathnames output will have TAB, LF, and 59 backslash characters replaced with `\t`, `\n`, and `\\`, 60 respectively. 61 62--apply:: 63 If you use any of the options marked ``Turns off 64 "apply"'' above, git-apply reads and outputs the 65 information you asked without actually applying the 66 patch. Give this flag after those flags to also apply 67 the patch. 68 69 70Author 71------ 72Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> 73 74Documentation 75-------------- 76Documentation by Junio C Hamano 77 78GIT 79--- 80Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite 81
