-% Diff and patch
-
-This is just a quick guide for reference, use 'man' to know more.
-
-[Back to index](./)
-
-Apply a patch
-=============
-
-To apply a patch to a single file, do that in it's directory:
-
- $ patch < foo.patch
-
-Assuming that the patch is distributed in unified format identifying the
-file the patch should be applied to, the above will work. Otherwise:
-
- $ patch foo.txt < bar.patch
-
-You can apply a patch to an entire directory, but note the "p level".
-What this means is that inside patch files will be the files that you
-intend to patch, identified by path names that might be different when
-the files ane located on your own computer instead of on the computer
-where the patch was created. 'p' level instructs the 'patch' utility
-to ignore parts of the path name to identify the files correctly.
-Usually a p level of 1 will work, so you would use:
-
- $ patch -p1 < baz.patch
-
-Change to the top level directory before running this. If a patch level
-of 1 cannot identify the files to patch, then inspect the patch file for
-file names. For example:\
-**/home/user/do/not/panic/yet.c**
-
-and you are working in a directory that contains panic/yet.c, use:
-
- $ patch -p5 < baz.patch
-
-You usually count one up for each path separator (forward slash) removed
-from the beginning of the path, until you are left with a path that
-exists in the current working directory. The count is the p level.
-
-Removing a patch using the -R flag
-
- $ patch -p5 -R < baz.patch
-
-Create a patch with diff
-========================
-
-Diff can create a patch for a single file:
-
- $ diff -u original.c new.c > original.patch
-
-For diff'ing a source tree:
-
- $ cp -R original new
-
-Do whatever you want in new/ and then diff it:
-
- $ diff -rupN original/ new/ > original.patch
-
-git diff
-========
-
-git is something special.
-
-Note: this won't show new files created.
-
-Just make whatever changes you want to a git clone and then:
-
- $ git diff > patch.git
-
-Note the git revision that you did this with:
-
- $ git log
-
-Alternatively (better yet), commit your changes and then use:
- $ git format-patch -N
-Replace N with the number of commits that you want to show.
-
-git apply
-=========
-
-it really is.
-
-Now to apply that patch in the future, just git clone it again and do
-with the git revision you found from above:
-
- $ git reset --hard REVISIONNUMBER
-
-Now put patch.git in the git clone directory and do:
-
- $ git apply patch.git
-
-If you use a patch from git format-patch, then use **git am patch.git**
-instead of **git apply patch.git**. git-am will re-create the commits
-aswell, instead of just applying the patch.
