    Smile Create git patch for uncommitted changes?

    I could simply do:
    Code:
    $ git diff > patchfile.patch
    if I haven't setup [diff] external = extDiff

    I can temporary disable this external GUI diff tool. But just wondering if
    Code:
    $ git format-patch
    would have built in support for generating such patch.



    Great thanks,

    I don't the way to do that..but why not commit the changes and take patch using "git format-patch -M -1" and then do "git reset --hard <previous-patch-commit-id>"
