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. |
|
|
|
-v, --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. |
|
|
|
Submodules |
|
---------- |
|
If the patch contains any changes to submodules then gitlink:git-apply[1] |
|
treats these changes as follows. |
|
|
|
If --index is specified (explicitly or implicitly), then the submodule |
|
commits must match the index exactly for the patch to apply. If any |
|
of the submodules are checked-out, then these check-outs are completely |
|
ignored, i.e., they are not required to be up-to-date or clean and they |
|
are not updated. |
|
|
|
If --index is not specified, then the submodule commits in the patch |
|
are ignored and only the absence of presence of the corresponding |
|
subdirectory is checked and (if possible) updated. |
