git commit - How to create git patch from two files? -
i newbie git , wondering, if it's possible create git patch 2 different file. there no git repo, scenario have file , modified it, want create patch difference between these 2 files. pointers? or should go ahead creating repo , modifying file , commit changes?
looking @ git diff
man page, can try with:
git diff --no-index --patch
with:
git diff --no-index [--options] [--] [<path>…]
this form compare given 2 paths on filesystem.
can omit--no-index
option when running command in working tree controlled git , @ least 1 of paths points outside working tree, or when running command outside working tree controlled git.
since:
- --patch default option
- you can omit
--no-index
when running command outside working tree controlled git
you should able use git diff
outside git repo without issue.
