<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Reads the supplied diff output (i.e. "a patch") and applies it to files.
With the <code>--index</code> option the patch is also applied to the index, and
with the <code>--cached</code> option the patch is only applied to the index.
Without these options, the command applies the patch only to files,
and does not require them to be in a Git repository.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This command applies the patch but does not create a commit.  Use
<a href="git-am.html">git-am(1)</a> to create commits from patches generated by
<a href="git-format-patch.html">git-format-patch(1)</a> and/or received by email.</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="dlist"><dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">
&lt;patch&gt;&#8230;
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        The files to read the patch from.  <em>-</em> can be used to read
        from the standard input.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--stat
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Instead of applying the patch, output diffstat for the
        input.  Turns off "apply".
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--numstat
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Similar to <code>--stat</code>, but shows the number of added and
        deleted lines in decimal notation and the pathname without
        abbreviation, to make it more machine friendly.  For
        binary files, outputs two <code>-</code> instead of saying
        <code>0 0</code>.  Turns off "apply".
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--summary
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Instead of applying the patch, output a condensed
        summary of information obtained from git diff extended
        headers, such as creations, renames and mode changes.
        Turns off "apply".
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--check
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Instead of applying the patch, see if the patch is
        applicable to the current working tree and/or the index
        file and detects errors.  Turns off "apply".
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--index
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        When <code>--check</code> is in effect, or when applying the patch
        (which is the default when none of the options that
        disables it is in effect), make sure the patch is
        applicable to what the current index file records.  If
        the file to be patched in the working tree is not
        up-to-date, it is flagged as an error.  This flag also
        causes the index file to be updated.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--cached
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Apply a patch without touching the working tree. Instead take the
        cached data, apply the patch, and store the result in the index
        without using the working tree. This implies <code>--index</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
-3
</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--3way
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        When the patch does not apply cleanly, fall back on 3-way merge if
        the patch records the identity of blobs it is supposed to apply to,
        and we have those blobs available locally, possibly leaving the
        conflict markers in the files in the working tree for the user to
        resolve.  This option implies the <code>--index</code> option, and is incompatible
        with the <code>--reject</code> and the <code>--cached</code> options.

        For atomicity, <em>git apply</em> by default fails the whole patch and

<p>
        By default, <em>git apply</em> expects that the patch being
        applied is a unified diff with at least one line of context.
        This provides good safety measures, but breaks down when
        applying a diff generated with <code>--unified=0</code>. To bypass these
        checks use <code>--unidiff-zero</code>.

        If you use any of the options marked "Turns off

        When applying a patch, ignore additions made by the

        the result with this option, which would apply the

        Historically we did not allow binary patch applied

<p>
        When applying a patch, ignore changes in whitespace in context
        lines if necessary.
        Context lines will preserve their whitespace, and they will not
        undergo whitespace fixing regardless of the value of the
        <code>--whitespace</code> option. New lines will still be fixed, though.

<p>
        When applying a patch, detect a new or modified line that has
        whitespace errors.  What are considered whitespace errors is
        controlled by <code>core.whitespace</code> configuration.  By default,
        trailing whitespaces (including lines that solely consist of
        whitespaces) and a space character that is immediately followed
        by a tab character inside the initial indent of the line are
        considered whitespace errors.

  used to consider only trailing whitespace characters as errors, and the
  fix involved <em>stripping</em> them, but modern Gits do more).

        Under certain circumstances, some versions of <em>diff</em> do not correctly
