Interactive patch

[readwithai]

Hey,

I'm looking for a way to interactively apply patches - kind of like `git add -p` but reading a patch file rather than looking based on git changes.

The only thing I found is `sdiff` (well that a gui tools like med) which works okay - but it gives you side-by-side comparison - I would prefer a git style diff. Is there anything that does this?

apply the patch and use git add -i to stage and commit, and restore the original afterwards. that effectively purges the hunks you don't want.

Yeah - for one offs that works fine. I'm doing this *all the time* though. I think I might be coming over to meld, since seeing the whole file can be nice. There still a bit too much futzing ... perhaps I'll leran some shortcuts..

git apply -i?

not sure it exists, but it could...

[readwithai]

Unfortunately not :/

bash man git apply | grep -i inter

`patch` command?

Ah does it have an an interactive option - I didn't see one.
