git apply

Apply a patch to files and/or to the index.

• Print messages about the patched files:

git apply --verbose {path/to/file}

• Apply and add the patched files to the index:

git apply --index {path/to/file}

• Apply a remote patch file:

curl {https://example.com/file.patch} | git apply

• Output diffstat for the input and apply the patch:

git apply --stat --apply {path/to/file}

• Apply the patch in reverse:

git apply --reverse {path/to/file}

• Store the patch result in the index without modifying the working tree:

git apply --cache {path/to/file}
