Let's explore the rad patch update plumbing command. First we create a patch:

$ git checkout -q -b feature/1
$ git commit -q -m "Not a real change" --allow-empty

$ git push rad HEAD:refs/patches
✓ Patch b6a23eb08656de0ef1fcc0b5fe8820841e5cb2e5 opened
To rad://z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji/z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi
 * [new reference]   HEAD -> refs/patches

$ rad patch show b6a23eb08656de0ef1fcc0b5fe8820841e5cb2e5

We can make some changes to the repository:

$ git mv README README.md
$ git commit -q -m "Rename readme file"

Let's push the changes, but not to the magic ref, that way the push doesn't update our patch:

$ git push rad HEAD:refs/heads/feature/1

Now, instead of using git push to update the patch, as we normally would, we run:

$ rad patch update b6a23eb08656de0ef1fcc0b5fe8820841e5cb2e5 -m "Updated patch" --no-announce
ea7def3857f62f404606d7cd6490cd0de4eaebd1

The command outputs the new Revision ID, which we can now see here:

$ rad patch show b6a23eb08656de0ef1fcc0b5fe8820841e5cb2e5
