How to get patch or diff file - Git comparison between branches

Question

I need to get the patch/diff between the development and my feature branch.

How can I get this using git command.

Please consider the branch names be development and test. I need to get the differences from test and development branch.

Edit:

I have followed the steps provided in the below question: Comparing two branches in Git?

The differences are shown in the git terminal only.

How can I save the differences into a patch or diff file?

Answer 1

try

git diff development..test > patch_name.patch

this will create the patch. apply the patch wherever you want.
