How do I simply create a patch from my latest git commit?
git, patch
Solution
In general,
git format-patch -n HEAD^
(check help for the many options), although it's really for mailing them. For a single commit just
git show HEAD > some-patch0001.patch
will give you a useable patch.
Problem
I am looking for the command for creating a patch from the last commit made. My workflow sometimes looks like this: ``` vi some.txt git add some.txt git commit -m "some change" ``` Now I just want to write: ``` git create-patch-from-last-commit-to-file SOME-PATCH0001.patch ``` What should I put there instead of `create-patch-from-last-commit-to-file`?
