How do I do an equivalent of "git add -p -w"?

Question

There are about 5 relevant questions on this on SO, but I did not yet find the answer. The closest I have got is with the idea from this answer.

git diff -w --no-color | git apply --cached --ignore-whitespace

This doesn't work. It will add all the changes, but I want to do it per partes. Is there an improved way that also adds the behaviour -p flag of git add?

Thanks for edit, I think it should either be "per partes" (Latin) or "by parts". — Radek Liska, Dec 02 '15 at 00:15

This is one way:

git diff -w --no-color > patch 
git stash 
patch -p1 < patch
git add -i

Supposedly `git apply` could be used instead of `patch`. – kostix Dec 01 '15 at 15:32
