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:

$ rad patch open --draft -m "Nothing yet" --quiet
c639a0f9895a0fdf2ba2d04533290937cb6fd2f7

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

$ rad patch show c639a0f9895a0fdf2ba2d04533290937cb6fd2f7

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

$ rad patch ready c639a0f9895a0fdf2ba2d04533290937cb6fd2f7

$ rad patch show c639a0f9895a0fdf2ba2d04533290937cb6fd2f7

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

$ rad patch ready --undo c639a0f9895a0fdf2ba2d04533290937cb6fd2f7
$ rad patch show c639a0f9895a0fdf2ba2d04533290937cb6fd2f7
