         * Now, you need to create the actual patch file that you can, for example, attach to a ticket:
-                * `git format-patch <commitsha or branch name>` - this will create a file named 0001-your-commit-message.patch.
+                * `git format-patch <commitsha or branch name>` - this will create a file named 0001-your-commit-message.patch. (Note: Depending on your workflow, `git format-patch HEAD~1` may also suffice)
