469 <p>Reads the supplied diff output (i.e. "a patch") and applies it to files.
470 When running from a subdirectory in a repository, patched paths
471 outside the directory are ignored.
472 With the <code>--index</code> option, the patch is also applied to the index, and
473 with the <code>--cached</code> option, the patch is only applied to the index.
474 Without these options, the command applies the patch only to files,
475 and does not require them to be in a Git repository.</p>
476 </div>
477 <div class="paragraph">
478 <p>This command applies the patch but does not create a commit. Use
479 <a href="git-am.html">git-am(1)</a> to create commits from patches generated by
480 <a href="git-format-patch.html">git-format-patch(1)</a> and/or received by email.</p>

492 from the standard input.</p>
493 </dd>
494 <dt class="hdlist1">--stat</dt>
495 <dd>
496 <p>Instead of applying the patch, output diffstat for the
497 input. Turns off "apply".</p>
498 </dd>
499 <dt class="hdlist1">--numstat</dt>
500 <dd>
501 <p>Similar to <code>--stat</code>, but shows the number of added and
502 deleted lines in decimal notation and the pathname without
503 abbreviation, to make it more machine friendly. For
504 binary files, outputs two <code>-</code> instead of saying
505 <code>0 0</code>. Turns off "apply".</p>
506 </dd>
507 <dt class="hdlist1">--summary</dt>
508 <dd>
509 <p>Instead of applying the patch, output a condensed
510 summary of information obtained from git diff extended
511 headers, such as creations, renames, and mode changes.
512 Turns off "apply".</p>
513 </dd>
514 <dt class="hdlist1">--check</dt>
515 <dd>
516 <p>Instead of applying the patch, see if the patch is
517 applicable to the current working tree and/or the index
518 file and detects errors. Turns off "apply".</p>
519 </dd>
520 <dt class="hdlist1">--index</dt>
521 <dd>
522 <p>Apply the patch to both the index and the working tree (or
523 merely check that it would apply cleanly to both if <code>--check</code> is
524 in effect). Note that <code>--index</code> expects index entries and
525 working tree copies for relevant paths to be identical (their
526 contents and metadata such as file mode must match), and will
527 raise an error if they are not, even if the patch would apply
528 cleanly to both the index and the working tree in isolation.</p>
529 </dd>
530 <dt class="hdlist1">--cached</dt>
531 <dd>
532 <p>Apply the patch to just the index, without touching the working
533 tree. If <code>--check</code> is in effect, merely check that it would
534 apply cleanly to the index entry.</p>
535 </dd>
536 <dt class="hdlist1">--intent-to-add</dt>
537 <dd>
538 <p>When applying the patch only to the working tree, mark new
539 files to be added to the index later (see <code>--intent-to-add</code>
540 option in <a href="git-add.html">git-add(1)</a>). This option is ignored unless
541 running in a Git repository and <code>--index</code> is not specified.
542 Note that <code>--index</code> could be implied by other options such
543 as <code>--cached</code> or <code>--3way</code>.</p>
544 </dd>
545 <dt class="hdlist1">-3</dt>
546 <dt class="hdlist1">--3way</dt>
547 <dd>
548 <p>Attempt 3-way merge if the patch records the identity of blobs it is supposed
549 to apply to and we have those blobs available locally, possibly leaving the
550 conflict markers in the files in the working tree for the user to
551 resolve. This option implies the <code>--index</code> option unless the
552 <code>--cached</code> option is used, and is incompatible with the <code>--reject</code> option.
553 When used with the <code>--cached</code> option, any conflicts are left at higher stages
554 in the cache.</p>
555 </dd>
556 <dt class="hdlist1">--build-fake-ancestor=&lt;file&gt;</dt>
557 <dd>
558 <p>Newer <em>git diff</em> output has embedded <em>index information</em>
559 for each blob to help identify the original version that
560 the patch applies to. When this flag is given, and if
561 the original versions of the blobs are available locally,
562 builds a temporary index containing those blobs.</p>
563 <div class="paragraph">
564 <p>When a pure mode change is encountered (which has no index information),
565 the information is read from the current index instead.</p>
566 </div>
567 </dd>
568 <dt class="hdlist1">-R</dt>
569 <dt class="hdlist1">--reverse</dt>
570 <dd>
571 <p>Apply the patch in reverse.</p>
572 </dd>
573 <dt class="hdlist1">--reject</dt>
574 <dd>
575 <p>For atomicity, <em>git apply</em> by default fails the whole patch and
576 does not touch the working tree when some of the hunks
577 do not apply. This option makes it apply
