Patch from git diff

Create a patch file from your git diff

TLDR;

git diff --no-prefix > my.patch
git reset --hard
patch -p0 < my.patch

Step 1: Make Changes

make changes to your files

Step 2: Verify your changes

Make sure that the changes you’ve made are showing in the git diff

git status
git diff

Step 3: Create the patch

This will create a patch for ALL the changes in the git diff output

git diff --no-prefix > my.patch

Step 4:

Reset the files to their original state.

We do this so that we can verify our patch works with a fresh code base.

git reset --hard

Step 5: Apply your patch

patch -p0 < my.patch
