Patchr

Create, save, and apply Git .patch files directly in VS Code.

Features

Export patches: Save staged changes (git diff --cached), unstaged changes (git diff), all changes (git diff HEAD), changes from a single file, or changes from every file in a folder. Untracked files are included as new-file hunks, so a patch captures brand-new files too.
Copy to clipboard: Every export command has a clipboard counterpart, so a diff can be pasted straight into a chat, an issue, or a code review.
Apply patches: Apply .patch or .diff files, or a diff sitting on your clipboard, to your workspace using git apply.
Context menus: Export and apply patches from the Command Palette, Source Control view, File Explorer, or Editor tabs.

From the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P):

Or use context menus:

Source Control: Click ⋯ in the SCM title bar, or right-click Staged Changes / Changes.
Source Control (tree view): Right-click a folder and choose Patchr: Save Folder Changes to Patch File to export every changed file under it. Multi-selecting files and choosing Patchr: Save File Changes to Patch File exports just those files.
Explorer / Editor: Right-click any file and choose Patchr: Save File Changes to Patch File, or right-click a folder and choose Patchr: Save Folder Changes to Patch File.

Each export command has a Copy ... to Clipboard twin that puts the diff on the clipboard instead of writing a file:

They appear in the same context menus as their Save counterparts.

Run Patchr: Apply Patch File from the Command Palette and select a .patch or .diff file.
Or right-click any .patch / .diff file in the Explorer or editor tab and choose Patchr: Apply Patch File.
Run Patchr: Apply Patch from Clipboard to apply a diff you copied from a chat, an issue, or a code review without saving it first.
