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 *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 `REQUIREMENTS` for 1.21
|
|
gigawatts and committed with 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 a patch with our changes.
|
|
|
|
``` (stderr)
|
|
$ git push rad -o no-sync -o patch.message="Define power requirements" -o patch.message="See details." HEAD:refs/patches
|
|
