To ensure that we can handle diverse workflows, we also allow patches to be
|
|
opened when we're in the infamous 'detached HEAD' state.
|
|
|
|
First, we will enter this state by using `git checkout` on a commit object:
|
|
|
|
``` (stderr) RAD_HINT=1
|
|
$ git checkout f2de534b5e81d7c6e2dcaf58c3dd91573c0a0354
|
|
Note: switching to 'f2de534b5e81d7c6e2dcaf58c3dd91573c0a0354'.
|
|
|
|
You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
|
|
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
|
|
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.
|
|
|
|
If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
|
|
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:
|
|
|
|
git switch -c <new-branch-name>
|
|
|
|
Or undo this operation with:
|
|
|
|
git switch -
|
|
|
|
Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false
|
|
|
|
HEAD is now at f2de534 Second commit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now, we can create a commit on top of this and create a patch, as usual:
|
|
|
|
``` (stderr) RAD_HINT=1
|
|
$ git commit -a -m "Add things" -q --allow-empty
|
|
$ git push -o patch.message="Add things #1" -o patch.message="See commits for details." rad HEAD:refs/patches
|
|

|
|
* [new reference] HEAD -> refs/patches
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that there will be no upstream branch, since we did not have a branch to
|
|
set an upstream for in the first place!
