patch

Patch a file (or files) with a diff file. Note that diff files contain both the target filenames and list of changes.

  • Apply a patch:

patch < {{patchfile}}.diff

  • Apply a patch to current directory:

patch -p1 < {{patchfile}}.diff

  • Apply the reverse of a patch:

patch -R < {{patchfile}}.diff
