git: creating a patch that contains blobs

Question

I'm trying to create a patch (that I'll send to someone to apply). However, I added a couple of image files to the commit. How do I create a patch that will contain not only the code changes, but also the image file blobs?

If you're using git diff to construct the patch file, you can try including the --binary option — Chris Forrence

To output a diff with binary files, include the --binary flag to your git diff call:

git diff --binary

Description:

--binary
  In addition to --full-index, output a binary diff that can be applied
    with git-apply.
