  10 SYNOPSIS
  11 --------
  12 'git-apply' [--no-merge] [--stat] [--summary] [--check] [--index] [--show-files] [--apply] [<patch>...]
  13
  14 DESCRIPTION
  15 -----------
  16 Reads supplied diff output and applies it on a GIT index file
  17 and a work tree.
  18
  19 OPTIONS
  20 -------
  21 <patch>...::
  22         The files to read patch from.  '-' can be used to read
  23         from the standard input.
  24
  25 --no-merge::
  26         The default mode of operation is the merge behaviour
  27         which is not implemented yet.  This flag explicitly
  28         tells the program not to use the merge behaviour.
  29
  30 --stat::
  31         Instead of applying the patch, output diffstat for the
  32         input.  Turns off "apply".
  33
  34 --summary::
  35         Instead of applying the patch, output a condensed
  36         summary of information obtained from git diff extended
  37         headers, such as creations, renames and mode changes.
  38         Turns off "apply".
  39
  40 --check::
  41         Instead of applying the patch, see if the patch is
  42         applicable to the current work tree and/or the index
  43         file and detects errors.  Turns off "apply".
  44
  45 --index::
  46         When --check is in effect, or when applying the patch
  47         (which is the default when none of the options that
  48         disables it is in effect), make sure the patch is
  49         applicable to what the current index file records.  If
  50         the file to be patched in the work tree is not
  51         up-to-date, it is flagged as an error.  This flag also
  52         causes the index file to be updated.
  53
  54 --show-files::
  55         Show summary of files that are affected by the patch.
  56
  57 --apply::
  58         If you use any of the options marked ``Turns off
  59         "apply"'' above, git-apply reads and outputs the
  60         information you asked without actually applying the
  61         patch.  Give this flag after those flags to also apply
  62         the patch.
