Patch Back

Patches formatted under Git has provided us with a way to apply commits from one repository to another, even if their structures are different.

The usage is quite simple:

  1. To generate patch files first:

     git format-patch -1 <commit_sha>
    

    If you want to create patches of several commits, you may need to change the parameter:

     git format-patch -n <commit_sha>
    

    Then, Git will generate some *.patch files under the current workspace

  2. Apply generated patches:

     git apply *.patch --directory='<relative_path>'
