We may want to work on top of an existing patch and this where `rad
patch checkout` comes into play. So, first we will create a patch to
set up the workflow.
```
$ git checkout -b flux-capacitor-power
$ touch REQUIREMENTS
```
Here the instructions are added to the project's README for 1.21 gigawatts and
commit the changes to 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 (or create) a patch with our changes for the project.
``` (stderr)
$ git push rad -o patch.message="Define power requirements" -o patch.message="See details." HEAD:refs/patches
✓ Patch a8926643a8f6a65bc386b0131621994000485d4d opened
To rad://z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji/z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi
* [new reference] HEAD -> refs/patches
```
Now, let's checkout the patch that we just created:
```
$ rad patch checkout a892664
✓ Switched to branch patch/a892664
✓ Branch patch/a892664 setup to track rad/patches/a8926643a8f6a65bc386b0131621994000485d4d
```
Now, let's add a README too!
```
$ touch README.md
$ git add README.md
$ git commit --message "Add README, just for the fun"
[patch/a892664 27857ec] Add README, just for the fun
1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 README.md
```
But maybe we first wanted to rebase `master` so we ended up being on
that branch:
``` (stderr)
$ git checkout master
Switched to branch 'master'
```
We can be safe in the knowledge that our changes on the
`patch/a892664` branch are still safe:
```
$ rad patch checkout a892664
✓ Switched to branch patch/a892664
```
We can now finish off the update:
``` (stderr)
$ git push rad -o patch.message="Add README, just for the fun"
✓ Patch a892664 updated to 8d8aa0887a11f2a37fa8ed0d5723efa96fd727ed
