Create Patch Files

Create simple Email-format files which contain commit content with git.
For example,

$ git format-patch -M origin/master -5
0001-remove-debug-dir.patch
0002-adjust-height.patch
0003-use-splitter-as-stackWidget-page.patch
0004-Make-gif-resize.patch
0005-add-resize-event.patch

The patch file has UNIX mailbox format context which is convenient for e-mail submission or for use with git am, we can use command git help format-patch to get more information about it.
The patch file looks something like this.

Git Apply And Git Am

We can add the content of patch file with git apply or git am.
git apply changes local files according to the patch, but no commit message in log history.

$ git apply 0003-use-splitter-as-stackWidget-page.patch
$ git status
...
Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

    modified: Introduce/mainwidget.cpp

We need to stage modified files and commit them manually.
git-am – Apply a series of patches from a mailbox, it can apply patch file’s diff result to the local work area and create commit message automatically.

$ git am 0003-use-splitter-as-stackWidget-page.patch
Applying: use splitter as stackWidget page

    adjust height

Check if there is any whitespace: git diff --check.
Git marks the positions of whitespace red color if there are a few errors.
