Create a patch using Git
Now, let's say we have tested this change, and want to share it with others or send it to the Koha release manager for inclusion in upcoming Koha releases. To do this, we create a patch using the command git format-patch:
koha@linux:/home/koha/kohaclone # git format-patch origin/master
Note the use of the word master in the command above; this indicates that the patch should be created against the master branch. By doing this, we ensure that the patch can be applied on the master.
The command should exit by creating a single file containing all the changes:
0001-This-adds-the-Google-Indic-Transliterater-to-the-OPA.patch
Let's take a look at this file:
koha@linux:/home/koha/kohaclone # cat 0001-This-adds-the-Google-Indic-Transliterater-to-the-OPA.patch ...Get Koha 3 Library Management System now with the O’Reilly learning platform.
