STG-PATCHES(1)

💅 stg-patches 💅

okay so real quick, this is a page from the StGit Manual — yes, that StGit — and it's about the stg-patches command. bestie, it's giving "which patches touched these files" energy and honestly? iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

stg-patches — show patches that modify files 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

stg patches [OPTIONS] [path]...

like, you give it some paths, it tells you things. simple as that, no cap.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the whole vibe here is: it shows the applied patches that modify the paths you hand it. that's it, that's the main character move.

and if you're like "um, I don't feel like typing paths today" — valid! without any path arguments, it just uses the files modified in the working tree as the paths. lowkey convenient tbh. 💖

ngl, note the word applied — that's doing a lot of work in this sentence, so don't come for me when unapplied patches don't show up. 🙈

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

• -b <branch>, --branch=<branch> — use <branch> instead of the current branch 🧚 like, go look over there instead of here, bestie.
• -d, --diff — show the diff for the given paths. yes girl, show me the actual changes ✨
• -O <option>, --diff-opt=<option> — pass an additional <option> straight through to git diff 🔥

see the git-diff(1) man page if you wanna know what those options do. and yes — this one may be specified multiple times, so stack 'em up like your skincare routine 💅

👑 STGIT 👑
