What is AI Patch Application?

AI patch application automates the tedious process of applying git diffs and patches to your codebase. Instead of manually resolving conflicts and context mismatches, AI understands your code semantically and applies changes intelligently.

What It Does

Applies unified diffs automatically
Resolves merge conflicts intelligently
Processes patches in batches
Integrates with git workflows
Maintains code formatting
Handles enterprise security

Traditional tools break when code has changed since the patch was created. AI patch application understands context and intent, making smart decisions about where and how to apply changes.

How AI Apply Patch Works

The system uses a four-stage pipeline that analyzes diffs, understands code semantics, detects conflicts, and applies changes intelligently.

1Diff Analysis

  • • Parse unified diff format
  • • Extract changed line ranges
  • • Identify modification patterns
  • • Map context boundaries

2Semantic Understanding

  • • Analyze code structure and intent
  • • Understand variable scope changes
  • • Detect API usage patterns
  • • Map dependency relationships

3Conflict Detection

  • • Compare target file state
  • • Identify overlapping changes
  • • Detect semantic conflicts
  • • Validate patch applicability

4Intelligent Merge

  • • Apply changes with context awareness
  • • Resolve conflicts automatically
  • • Maintain code formatting
  • • Validate final result

See It in Action

Watch how Morph applies patches in real-time with blazing-fast performance and intelligent conflict resolution.

Git Diff to Code Automation

Connect directly to your git workflow. Apply patches from pull requests, commits, or diff files while maintaining version control integrity.

Quick Example

# Generate and apply patch automatically
git diff HEAD~1 > changes.patch

curl -X POST https://api.morphllm.com/v1/apply-patch \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "repository": "my-repo",
    "patch_file": "changes.patch",
    "target_branch": "main",
    "auto_resolve_conflicts": true
  }'

# Result: Patch applied with 99.2% accuracy

Integration Options

  • Git Hooks: Auto-apply patches on commit/push
  • PR Automation: Apply patches from pull request diffs
  • Branch Sync: Keep feature branches updated automatically
  • Conflict Prevention: Detect and resolve conflicts early

Performance Benchmarks

Comprehensive benchmarking demonstrates significant performance advantages over manual patch application and traditional merge tools.

API Documentation & Usage

Use the standard OpenAI-compatible API to apply patches automatically. Same interface, faster performance.

Basic Usage

import { OpenAI } from 'openai';

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: 'your-api-key',
  baseURL: 'https://api.morphllm.com/v1'
});

// Apply a git diff to existing code
const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "morph-v2",
  messages: [
    {
      role: "user",
      content: `<code>${originalCode}</code>
<update>${patchContent}</update>`
    }
  ]
});

const updatedCode = response.choices[0].message.content;

Streaming for Large Files

// Stream results for real-time feedback
const stream = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "morph-v2",
  messages: [
    {
      role: "user", 
      content: `<code>${originalCode}</code>
<update>${diffContent}</update>`
    }
  ],
  stream: true
});

for await (const chunk of stream) {
  const content = chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content || '';
  process.stdout.write(content);
}

Python Example

import openai

client = openai.OpenAI(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    base_url="https://api.morphllm.com/v1"
)

def apply_patch(original_code: str, patch_diff: str):
    response = client.chat.completions.create(
        model="morph-v2",
        messages=[
            {
                "role": "user",
                "content": f"<code>{original_code}</code>\n<update>{patch_diff}</update>"
            }
        ]
    )
    
    return response.choices[0].message.content

# Apply patch
updated_code = apply_patch(file_content, git_diff)

Best Practices

Get the most out of AI patch application with these practical tips.

Before Applying

  • • Validate patch format and syntax
  • • Check file permissions and access
  • • Create backups for critical files
  • • Test on staging environment first

Handling Conflicts

  • • Enable auto-resolution for standard scenarios
  • • Set manual review for complex conflicts
  • • Run automated tests after application
  • • Keep rollback procedures ready

CI/CD Integration

  • • Add patch application to your pipeline
  • • Set up quality gates and testing
  • • Configure failure notifications
  • • Monitor success rates and performance
