'-' can be used to read 23 from the standard input. 24 25--stat:: 26 Instead of applying the patch, output diffstat for the 27 input. Turns off "apply". 28 29--summary:: 30 Instead of applying the patch, output a condensed 31 summary of information obtained from git diff extended 32 headers, such as creations, renames and mode changes. 33 Turns off "apply". 34 35--check:: 36 Instead of applying the patch, see if the patch is 37 applicable to the current work tree and/or the index 38 file and detects errors. Turns off "apply". 39 40--index:: 41 When --check is in effect, or when applying the patch 42 (which is the default when none of the options that 43 disables it is in effect), make sure the patch is 44 applicable to what the current index file records. If 45 the file to be patched in the work tree is not 46 up-to-date, it is flagged as an error. This flag also 47 causes the index file to be updated. 48 49--show-files:: 50 Show summary of files that are affected by the patch. 51 52--apply:: 53 If you use any of the options marked ``Turns off 54 "apply"'' above, git-apply reads and outputs the 55 information you asked without actually applying the 56 patch. Give this flag after those flags to also apply 57 the patch. 58 59 60Author 61------ 62Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> 63 64Documentation 65-------------- 66Documentation by Junio C Hamano 67 68GIT 69--- 70Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite 71
