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 97e18f8598237a396a1c0ac1509c89028e666c97 drafted
To rad://z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji/z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi
 * [new reference]   HEAD -> refs/patches
```

We can confirm it's a draft by running `show`:

```
$ rad patch show 97e18f8598237a396a1c0ac1509c89028e666c97

```

Once the patch is ready for review, we can use the `ready` command:

```
$ rad patch ready 97e18f8598237a396a1c0ac1509c89028e666c97 --no-announce
```

```
$ rad patch show 97e18f8598237a396a1c0ac1509c89028e666c97

If for whatever reason, it needed to go back into draft mode, we could use
the `--undo` flag:

```
$ rad patch ready --undo 97e18f8598237a396a1c0ac1509c89028e666c97 --no-announce
$ rad patch show 97e18f8598237a396a1c0ac1509c89028e666c97
