How do I extract an Eclipse compatible patch?
Answered
My team has been "restructured" leaving me the last IntelliJ user in a powerfully pro-Eclipse environment where they like to blame IntelliJ for stuff. Our source control is Git. Considering this, I want to send my team a patch that I know they will be able to use. How do I extract an Eclipse compatible patch?

Currently, IDEA creates patches in one format only. This patches should be accepted by git (the -p 1 parameter might be needed sometimes). We are planning to make patches more git-like though. See https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-92793
And what is the Eclipse-compatible patch? Is it somehow different from git? Does it have any standards described? Doesn't patches generated by IDEA work? What errors do you get?
As a workaround, you could generate a patch using command-line git.
