| 16 | | * {{{ git status }}} will display which files are modified, added, or deleted |
| 17 | | * Perform a git diff... |
| 18 | | * {{{ git diff > ~/DescriptiveName.patch }}} |
| 19 | | * {{{ git diff or/specify/per/file or/specify/directory/ > ~/DescriptiveName.patch }}} |
| 20 | | * ''Note:'' If patching newly created files, {{{ git add <path-to-new-file> }}} needs to be done before {{{ git diff }}} |
| | 16 | * {{{ git status }}} will display which files are modified, added, or deleted. Use `git diff` to inspect your changes. |
| | 17 | * You'll then have to commit the patch locally by adding the changed or added files (`git add my-file my/new/file`), and then do a `git commit`. You will need to enter a complete commit message that will later appear as is in Haiku's repository if your patch is going to be accepted. |
| | 18 | * Now, you need to create the actual patch file that you can, for example, attach to a ticket: |
| | 19 | * `git format-patch <commitsha or branch name>` - this will create a file named 0001-your-commit-message.patch. |
