To be honest, I’d probably just take the coward’s way out and make a copy of the file, switch to the dev branch, copy it into place and commit it. You’d lose the commit history within the branch, but if it was my work, I probably wouldn’t care...

Syd— Tell me if I understand you about the problem and what’s not working:
1) You need to be able to identify files you’ve changed on sydb-occurs branch by comparing them against their counterparts on the dev. And you’ve figured that out—problem solved, right? 2) You know you only want to merge one or two specific files in sydb-occurs into dev., and you’re having trouble getting that to happen. From what I can see in your commands, you’re looking at the origin/dev on your local computer and (unless I missed something here) I don’t think you’ve pulled in changes from the master (remote) dev branch. I expect that’s part of the problem here…
Okay, so this is what I thought should work, if you’ve identified the one file you want to merge into dev: (it’s the example from the Jason Rudolph tutorial): You checkout sydb-occurs and indicate the path to the file(s) you want to merge, as in the example below:
****
We can simply give git checkout the name of the feature branch [1] and the paths to the specific files that we want to add to our master branch.
$ git branch * master twitter_integration $ git checkout twitter_integration app/models/avatar.rb db/migrate/20090223104419_create_avatars.rb test/unit/models/avatar_test.rb test/functional/models/avatar_test.rb $ git status # On branch master # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # # new file: app/models/avatar.rb # new file: db/migrate/20090223104419_create_avatars.rb # new file: test/functional/models/avatar_test.rb # new file: test/unit/models/avatar_test.rb # $ git commit -m "'Merge' avatar code from 'twitter_integration' branch" [master]: created 4d3e37b: "'Merge' avatar code from 'twitter_integration' branch" 4 files changed, 72 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 app/models/avatar.rb create mode 100644 db/migrate/20090223104419_create_avatars.rb create mode 100644 test/functional/models/avatar_test.rb create mode 100644 test/unit/models/avatar_test.rb ****
Hope this is helping…but I may not be understanding the problem! E

Not exactly what I was looking for, but very helpful. Probably close enough for now, thank you.

I had tried this, and it did not seem to work. Executing the command gave me a bunch of choices for each "hunk" of text that was different. I said 'a' (apply all hunks). This seemed to make a modification to the local file awaiting to be committed; i.e. `git status` said the file in question was modified. But then when I asked git what changes had been made to that file, it said there were none; i.e., `git diff` reported no differences.
But then I tried again to demonstrate to you that this didn't work. On this 2nd test run I actually ran a regular diff against a known copy, rather than git diff for working copy vs committed (local repo) copy. And it seems to have worked! But it is awfully peculiar, and quite unnerving, that `git diff` does not think it worked. Now I don't know what to do.

It might be, but the exact same thing happens. See below. I had not tried this method at first, because the prose specifically says this method is for files that don't yet exist in the dev branch. But after you posted I did try it, and the exact same thing happens as with the '--patch' switch, except I don't get a choice as to which hunks to apply. See below.

True, but not the problem I'm having here.
