在包含更改的目录中，执行以下操作:

$ git diff > patch

cd到另一个目录，然后执行:

git apply /path/to/patch

I have two different branches of the same software that I work on every day. However, every time I checkout the other branch, my build process can take up to an hour. To solve this, I have just checked out the project once for each branch in two separate folders.

I did some work in one branch, and realized before committing it that I was in the wrong folder, and thus the wrong branch. How can I move the work I did on this branch, to the other branch, preferably without creating a commit (if that is even possible)?

In the directory with the changes, do:

$ git diff > patch

cd to the other directory, and do:

git apply /path/to/patch
