I am trying to move several commits from one project to the second, similar one, using git. So I created a patch, containing 5 commits: git format-patch 4af51 --stdout > changes.patch Then move the patch to second project's folder and wants to apply the patch: git am changes.patch.but it gives me error: Applying: Fixed products ordering in order summary. Error: patch failed: index.php:17 error: index.php: patch does not apply Patch failed at 0001 Fixed products ordering in order summary. The copy of the patch that failed is found in: c:/./project2/.git/rebase-apply/patch When you have resolved this problem, run 'git am --continue'. If you prefer to skip this patch, run 'git am --skip' instead. To restore the original branch and stop patching, run 'git am --abort'. So I opened the index.php, but nothing changed there.

Git am error: “patch does not apply”. Open the files-to-be-changed in your favorite editor, and 'hand apply' the patch, using what you know (and git does not). After git p4 clone, the useClientSpec variable is automatically set in the repository configuration file. This allows future git p4 submit commands to work properly; the submit command looks only at the variable and does not have a command-line option.

I assume some >>>>>>> marks etc., like when resolving merge conflict, but no conflict was marked in the file. Git status gave me also empty list of changed files (only changes.patch was there).

So I run git am --continue, but another error appears: Applying: Fixed products ordering in order summary. No changes - did you forget to use 'git add'?

If there is nothing left to stage, chances are that something else already introduced the same changes; you might want to skip this patch. When you have resolved this problem, run 'git am --continue'. If you prefer to skip this patch, run 'git am --skip' instead. To restore the original branch and stop patching, run 'git am --abort'. I am using Windows 7 and newest git version '1.9.4.msysgit.1' P.S. After few hours of googling, I found few solutions, but nothing works for me: git am -3 changes.patch gives strange 'sha1 information' error: Applying: Fixed products ordering in order summary.

Fatal: sha1 information is lacking or useless (index.php). Repository lacks necessary blobs to fall back on 3-way merge. Cannot fall back to three-way merge. Patch failed at 0001 Fixed products ordering in order summary. Game membangun kota pc richard. The copy of the patch that failed is found in: c:/./project2/.git/rebase-apply/patch When you have resolved this problem, run 'git am --continue'.

If you prefer to skip this patch, run 'git am --skip' instead. To restore the original branch and stop patching, run 'git am --abort'.

Git am changes.patch --ignore-whitespace --no-scissors --ignore-space-change gives first error as above: 'error: patch failed: index.php:17', but no conflict marks in index.php was added. What is a patch? A patch is little more (see below) than a series of instructions: 'add this here', 'remove that there', 'change this third thing to a fourth'. That's why git tells you: The copy of the patch that failed is found in: c:/./project2/.git/rebase-apply/patch You can open that patch in your favorite viewer or editor, open the files-to-be-changed in your favorite editor, and 'hand apply' the patch, using what you know (and git does not) to figure out how 'add this here' is to be done when the files-to-be-changed now look little or nothing like what they did when they were changed earlier, with those changes delivered to you as a patch. A little more A three-way merge introduces that 'little more' information than the plain 'series of instructions': it tells you what the original version of the file was as well. If your repository has the original version, your git can compare what you did to a file, to what the patch says to do to the file.
