git-apply(1)
============
NAME
----
git-apply - Apply patch on a git index file and a work tree
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git-apply' [--stat] [--numstat] [--summary] [--check] [--index] [--apply]
[--no-add] [--index-info] [--allow-binary-replacement] [-z] [-pNUM]
[<patch>...]
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. 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.
--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.
-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.
--apply::
If you use any of the options marked ``Turns off
"apply"'' above, git-apply 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::
When applying a patch, which is a git-enhanced patch
that was prepared to record the pre- and post-image object
name in full, and the path being patched exactly matches
the object the patch applies to (i.e. "index" line's
pre-image object name is what is in the working tree),
and the post-image object is available in the object
database, use the post-image object as the patch
result. This allows binary files to be patched in a
very limited way.
