To create a branch of the diff using Git command line, you can follow these steps:

  1. Start by viewing the changes that you want to include in the new branch using the git diff command. This will show you the differences between the current branch and the branch you want to create.
  2. Copy the name of the branch you want to create the diff from. For example, if you want to create a branch from the main branch, copy the name of the main branch.
  3. Use the git checkout command to switch to the branch you want to create the new branch from. For example, if you want to create a new branch from the main branch, you would use the following command:
1
git checkout main


  1. Create a new branch using the git branch command followed by the name of the new branch. For example, if you want to create a new branch named "new-branch", you would use the following command:
1
git branch new-branch


  1. Switch to the new branch using the git checkout command with the name of the branch you just created. For example:
1
git checkout new-branch


  1. Apply the changes from the diff using the git apply command followed by the path to the diff file. For example:
1
git apply path/to/diff/file.diff


  1. Finally, commit the changes to the new branch using the git commit command followed by a commit message:
1
git commit -m "Commit message"


Your new branch with the changes from the diff should now be created and committed.
