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] [--show-files] [--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--show-files:: 49 Show summary of files that are affected by the patch. 50 51--index-info:: 52 Newer git-diff output has embedded 'index information' 53 for each blob to help identify the original version that 54 the patch applies to. When this flag is given, and if 55 the original version of the blob is available locally, 56 outputs information about them to the standard output. 57 58-z:: 59 When showing the index information, do not munge paths, 60 but use NUL terminated machine readable format. Without 61 this flag, the pathnames output will have TAB, LF, and 62 backslash characters replaced with `\t`, `\n`, and `\\`, 63 respectively. 64 65--apply:: 66 If you use any of the options marked ``Turns off 67 "apply"'' above, git-apply reads and outputs the 68 information you asked without actually applying the 69 patch. Give this flag after those flags to also apply 70 the patch. 71 72 73Author 74------ 75Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> 76 77Documentation 78-------------- 79Documentation by Junio C Hamano 80 81GIT 82--- 83Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite 84
