When working with version control or tracking changes in files, Linux admins and developers often rely on the diff and patch utilities. The former helps identity changes between files or directories, while the latter can apply changes described by a diff file.

This can lead to the necessity of converting multi-line diff output into a single-line format, useful for easier readability and application in certain dev environments. Let's explore how to accomplish this transformation effectively.
