To create a git patch file from the uncommitted changes in the current working directory use command:
git diff > filename.patch
In case some part of the work you’re doing are new files that are untracked and won’t be in your git diff output. So, one way to do a patch is to stage everything for a new commit (git add each file, or just git add .) but don’t do the commit, and then run:
git diff --cached > filename.patch
You can use the ‘binary’ option if you want to add binary files to the patch (e.g. mp3 files):
git diff --cached --binary > filename.patch
You can later apply the patch by running:
git apply filename.patch
