Used OS Windows and Git GUI to Creating a Patch?

[traponinet]

I used OS Windows XP/Vista/Win 7 (never mind) and Git GUI to Creating a Patch

until now I use this method (shown below) to make the patches

~~~~~~~~~~

1. I take a new fresh MaNGOS Source

2. then I do my corrections in code (amendments to file)

3. when I finish, right click on the folder (with Source) and select Git GUI Here

and I see in the column "Unstaged Changes" - the file in which I made changes

4. then click on the icon of the file and now the file is displayed on the column "Staged Changes".

5. then I write a description (in Commit Message: area) which is named: macho make patch and push "Commit"

6. next from the main menu I select: Repository -> Visualize All Branch History

and right click on the commit message (which I wrote), the commit message should not be highlighted

and select "Make patch" and called it: macho.patch (the patch appears in the main directory)

~~~~~~~~~~~

then I take a new fresh MaNGOS Source and put macho.patch in main directory

and right click on the folder (on main directory) and select Git Bash Here, then I write:

patch -p1 < macho.patch

and hit Enter

and patched perfectly, no errors

~~~~~~~~~~~

EDIT:

please someone to offer another way of making patch,

but mandatory for OS Windows

Git GUI is part of msysGit, if you have not msysGit, then take from here:

http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/

(Git-1.6.1-preview20081227.exe or a new version)

I heard TortoiseGit is now a lot more usable in v0.2 .. including patch creation.

Otherwise .. omit the new repo creation + pull, you can use just local branch, no need for svn-style.

Thank you very much for info about the new TortoiseGit-0.2.0.0

tried it, but Creating a patch file "Have not implemented" (still not working)

will have to wait to go the new TortoiseGit, (because I like svn-style)

I hope they fix it in 0.3.0.0 edition
