create patch

[filo]

How I can make my own patch with somes changes in source?

I try use this command:

git format-patch -1 --stdout > my_changes.patch

but its create file with 0 bytes...

I read another topic, where I find this commands:

git add .

git commit -a -m "my commit"

but this command will commit change to mangos branch, no? I need create my own private patch.

Thanks for help

Okey, I find this command git diff > patchfile.diff

for non-commit create patch...its right?

Thanks

Yes, such diff can be applied with git-apply or using GNU patch utility for example.

git diff > filename.patch would create patch for already existing files, but will not add newly created ones if they exist, right?

Try to use:

$ (edit files)

$ git add (files)

$ git commit -m 'Explain what I changed'

$ git format-patch origin/master

or

git add .
git diff HEAD > file.diff

[xeross155]

git diff #A diff that outputs all the changes made that are uncommited (Except untracked files)
git diff HEAD^ #Compares the last commit with the one before that and outputs a diff
git diff COMMIT COMMIT #Compares 2 commits and outputs a diff

Just add "> FILE.EXT" to them for saving to a file.
