Question

I use git add -p all the time. For large hunks I often go into (e)dit mode to review and adjust the hunk as desired.

Is there a way to edit the FULL diff (every hunk in every file), rather than make staging decisions one hunk at a time?

I know you can (s)plit a large hunk into smaller ones. I'm looking for something that kind of does the opposite: combine small hunks into one large one.

Something like git diff >big.patch && vim big.patch && git apply big.patch && rm big.patch ? — phd

@phd Wonderful! I didn't know about git apply. This is exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you. I love SO. — Taylor Vance

(Expanding from comment) Let's change the approach — use git diff + git apply instead of git add:

git diff >big.patch && vim big.patch && git apply big.patch && rm big.patch
