git-apply(1) ============ v0.1, June 2005 NAME ---- git-apply - Apply patch on a GIT index file and a work tree SYNOPSIS -------- 'git-apply' [--no-merge] [--stat] [--summary] [--check] [--index] [--show-files] [--apply] [...] DESCRIPTION ----------- Reads supplied diff output and applies it on a GIT index file and a work tree. OPTIONS ------- ...:: The files to read patch from. '-' can be used to read from the standard input. --no-merge:: The default mode of operation is the merge behaviour which is not implemented yet. This flag explicitly tells the program not to use the merge behaviour. --stat:: Instead of applying the patch, output diffstat for the input. 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. --show-files:: Show summary of files that are affected by the patch. --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.
