Let's say we have some changes in a branch: ``` $ git checkout -b cloudhead/draft $ git commit -a -m "Nothing to see here.." -q --allow-empty ``` To open a patch in draft mode, we use the `--draft` option: ``` (stderr) $ git push -o patch.draft -o patch.message="Nothing yet" rad HEAD:refs/patches ✓ Patch b5df71076ba95d80acb1de3a13f94995632df95e drafted To rad://z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji/z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi * [new reference] HEAD -> refs/patches ``` We can confirm it's a draft by running `show`: ``` $ rad patch show b5df71076ba95d80acb1de3a13f94995632df95e ╭────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮ │ Title Nothing yet │ │ Patch b5df71076ba95d80acb1de3a13f94995632df95e │ │ Author z6MknSL…StBU8Vi (you) │ │ Head 2a465832b5a76abe25be44a3a5d224bbd7741ba7 │ │ Branches cloudhead/draft │ │ Commits ahead 1, behind 0 │ │ Status draft │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ 2a46583 Nothing to see here.. │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ ● opened by z6MknSL…StBU8Vi (you) (2a46583) [ .. ] │ ╰────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯ ``` Once the patch is ready for review, we can use the `ready` command: ``` $ rad patch ready b5df71076ba95d80acb1de3a13f94995632df95e --no-announce ``` ``` $ rad patch show b5df71076ba95d80acb1de3a13f94995632df95e ╭────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮ │ Title Nothing yet │ │ Patch b5df71076ba95d80acb1de3a13f94995632df95e │ │ Author z6MknSL…StBU8Vi (you) │ │ Head 2a465832b5a76abe25be44a3a5d224bbd7741ba7 │ │ Branches cloudhead/draft │ │ Commits ahead 1, behind 0 │ │ Status open │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ 2a46583 Nothing to see here.. │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ ● opened by z6MknSL…StBU8Vi (you) (2a46583) [ .. ] │ ╰────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯ ``` If for whatever reason, it needed to go back into draft mode, we could use the `--undo` flag: ``` $ rad patch ready --undo b5df71076ba95d80acb1de3a13f94995632df95e --no-announce $ rad patch show b5df71076ba95d80acb1de3a13f94995632df95e ╭────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮ │ Title Nothing yet │ │ Patch b5df71076ba95d80acb1de3a13f94995632df95e │ │ Author z6MknSL…StBU8Vi (you) │ │ Head 2a465832b5a76abe25be44a3a5d224bbd7741ba7 │ │ Branches cloudhead/draft │ │ Commits ahead 1, behind 0 │ │ Status draft │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ 2a46583 Nothing to see here.. │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ ● opened by z6MknSL…StBU8Vi (you) (2a46583) [ .. ] │ ╰────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯ ```
