# go-gitdiff
2
+
3
+
A Go library for parsing and applying patches generated by `git diff`, `git
4
+
show`, and `git format-patch`.

+
## Why another diff parser?
7
+
8
+
Several libraries with similar functionality already exist, so why make
9
+
another?
10
+
11
+
1. No other libraries I found support binary diffs, as generated with the
12
+
`--binary` flag. This is the main reason for writing a new library.
13
+
14
+
2. Most other libraries only parse patches, so you need something else to apply
15
+
them (and if they do support applies, it is only for text files.)
16
+
17
+
3. The goal is to eventually accept anything that `git apply` accepts, based on
18
+
the code in [`apply.c`](https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/apply.c).

4. It seemed like a fun thing to write.
