Reads the supplied diff output (i.e. "a patch") and applies it to files. When running from a subdirectory in a repository, patched paths outside the directory are ignored. With the --index option, the patch is also applied to the index, and with the --cached option, the patch is only applied to the index. Without these options, the command applies the patch only to files, and does not require them to be in a Git repository.
