| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-apply - Apply patch on a git index file and a work tree |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| 'git-apply' [--stat] [--numstat] [--summary] [--check] [--index] [--apply] [--no-add] [--index-info] [--allow-binary-replacement] [-z] [<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. |
| |
| --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. |
