To apply a patch file in Git, you can use the git apply command. This command takes changes from a patch file and applies them to the current working directory.
Creating a Patch from the Last Commit To create a patch from the latest commit, use the `git format-patch` command followed by `HEAD~1`, which indicates the last commit. This command generates a `. patch` file for the most recent commit in your current branch.
Use Git to create a patch Use the git diff command to create a patch file between two Git commits. You must know both commit IDs. You can also create a patch file based on one Git commit and the base HEAD.
Send your patch with "To:" set to the mailing list, with "cc:" listing people who are involved in the area you are touching (the git-contacts script in contrib/contacts/ can help to identify them), to solicit comments and reviews.
You can also copy the content of a patch file and apply it by choosing Git | Apply Patch from Clipboard from the main menu. For example, this is convenient when you receive a patch by email and do not want to save it.
