git apply

Apply a patch to files and/or to the index without creating a commit. See also git am, which applies a patch and also creates a commit. More information: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-apply.

• 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 -L {{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}}
