codex apply

Applies a diff created in the cloud locally.

codex apply takes a diff produced e.g. by a cloud task (cloud/cloud exec/cloud list) and applies it locally in the working directory.

✅ WHEN TO USE IT?

Apply the result of a cloud task locally

codex apply <task-id> — apply the diff generated in the cloud locally

Check a cloud result before applying it locally

codex cloud list, then codex apply for the desired task

⛔ WHEN NOT TO?

There's no cloud diff at all, only local changes

codex apply is meant for applying cloud diffs locally, not for purely local changes.

Better: Make changes directly locally with the normal Codex session
