Creating Git patches from uncommitted changes
This article explains how we can create a Git patch from uncommitted changes in our working directory. This is handy when we want to create a patch without creating a commit.
Creating Git patches from uncommitted changes
We will use an example to demonstrate how to create a patch.
$ git status
We can see that our working directory has some uncommitted changes. Running git diff --cachedthe command will output:
To create a patch for this, we can run:
$ git diff --cached > mypatch.patch
We can add the binary file:
$ git diff --cached --binary > mypatch.patch
What if we don't have the files staged to be committed? Are the commands the same?
To create a patch for the unstaged changes, we can run:
$ git diff > mypatch.patch
In summary, we can git diffcreate a patch for uncommitted changes in Git using the command. This approach allows us to create a patch without creating a commit.
You can apply a patch at any time.
