When contributing to another's project, it is common for the contribution to be of many commits and involve a discussion with the project's maintainer. This is supported via Radicle's patches. Here we give a brief overview for using patches in our hypothetical car scenario. It turns out instructions containing the power requirements were missing from the project. ``` $ git checkout -b flux-capacitor-power $ touch REQUIREMENTS ``` Here the instructions are added to the project's README for 1.21 gigawatts and commit the changes to git. ``` $ git add REQUIREMENTS $ git commit -v -m "Define power requirements" [flux-capacitor-power 3e674d1] Define power requirements 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 REQUIREMENTS ``` Once the code is ready, we open (or create) a patch with our changes for the project. ``` $ rad patch open --message "define power requirements" --no-confirm 🌱 Creating patch for heartwood ok Pushing HEAD to storage... ok Analyzing remotes... z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi/master (f2de534) <- z6MknSL…StBU8Vi/flux-capacitor-power (3e674d1) 1 commit(s) ahead, 0 commit(s) behind 3e674d1 Define power requirements ╭─ define power requirements ─────── No description provided. ╰─────────────────────────────────── ok Patch c3bd983b5cf9643f7e98a2e6ee216d6794bac16b created 🌱 ``` It will now be listed as one of the project's open patches. ``` $ rad patch - YOU PROPOSED - define power requirements c3bd983b5cf R0 3e674d1 (flux-capacitor-power) ahead 1, behind 0 └─ * opened by z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi (you) [..] - OTHERS PROPOSED - Nothing to show. $ rad patch show c3bd983b5cf9643f7e98a2e6ee216d6794bac16b patch c3bd983b5cf9643f7e98a2e6ee216d6794bac16b ╭─ define power requirements ─────── No description provided. ╰─────────────────────────────────── commit 3e674d1a1df90807e934f9ae5da2591dd6848a33 Author: radicle Date: Thu Dec 15 17:28:04 2022 +0000 Define power requirements diff --git a/REQUIREMENTS b/REQUIREMENTS new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e69de29 ```
