Be careful of this if you're using Powershell, [as it will cause your patch to be written in UCS-2 encoding which `git apply` doesn't understand](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13675782/git-shell-in-windows-patchs-default-character-encoding-is-ucs-2-little-endian). – Ian Kemp Jun 27 '16 at 12:49

You can also use git format-patch <branch> --output single.patch
