I have the following git diff for Python code:

I want to discard changes using git add -i by removing the '+' line and restoring the '-' line. I do it as this:

I've read these SO questions as well as this blog post, and kept track of spaces and line count, but Git still produces an error: error: corrupt patch at line 13

How do I make Git apply my changes? What am I missing?

I use Notepad++ v8.4.2 as Git default code editor under Win10 OS.

• git
• patch
• interactive
• git-diff
• git-add

• there are some long standing bugs related to this kind of patch editing. An alternate way is to open git gui, and use the graphical interface to amend your changes – LeGEC Commented Jan 22 at 15:32

Thanks @LeGEC for suggesting using git gui, amending changes there solved the problem.
