1git-apply(1) 2============ 3v0.1, June 2005 4 5NAME 6---- 7git-apply - Apply patch on a GIT index file and a work tree 8 9 10SYNOPSIS 11-------- 12'git-apply' [--no-merge] [--stat] [--summary] [--check] [--index] [--show-files] [--apply] [<patch>...] 13 14DESCRIPTION 15----------- 16Reads supplied diff output and applies it on a git index file 17and a work tree. 18 19OPTIONS 20------- 21<patch>...:: 22 The files to read patch from. '-' can be used to read 23 from the standard input. 24 25--no-merge:: 26 The default mode of operation is the merge behaviour 27 which is not implemented yet. This flag explicitly 28 tells the program not to use the merge behaviour. 29 30--stat:: 31 Instead of applying the patch, output diffstat for the 32 input. Turns off "apply". 33 34--summary:: 35 Instead of applying the patch, output a condensed 36 summary of information obtained from git diff extended 37 headers, such as creations, renames and mode changes. 38 Turns off "apply". 39 40--check:: 41 Instead of applying the patch, see if the patch is 42 applicable to the current work tree and/or the index 43 file and detects errors. Turns off "apply". 44 45--index:: 46 When --check is in effect, or when applying the patch 47 (which is the default when none of the options that 48 disables it is in effect), make sure the patch is 49 applicable to what the current index file records. If 50 the file to be patched in the work tree is not 51 up-to-date, it is flagged as an error. This flag also 52 causes the index file to be updated. 53 54--show-files:: 55 Show summary of files that are affected by the patch. 56 57--apply:: 58 If you use any of the options marked ``Turns off 59 "apply"'' above, git-apply reads and outputs the 60 information you asked without actually applying the 61 patch. Give this flag after those flags to also apply 62 the patch. 63 64 65Author 66------ 67Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> 68 69Documentation 70-------------- 71Documentation by Junio C Hamano 72 73GIT 74--- 75Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite 76
