Create a patch including specific files in git

Question

Let\'s say that I am 7 commits ahead of the origin/master repo. I would like to create a patch that includes in the patch specific files that were changed, not all the files

Answer 1

You can include files in the patches with:

git format-patch  

Example

git format-patch HEAD^^^ Makefile

Will give you three files 0001-[commit] ... 0003-[commit] only containing the Makefile.
