There's also a tool, format-patch, for formatting a patch to send as an e-mail.
Or if you want to create a patch between 2 specific commits you can use git diff
The easiest way to create a patch for the last commit is There are several ways for creating a patch, the recommended one is using git format-patch (as mentioned in MDL-43119) In the dialogue box, make sure you select Style: Unified in the Format box.Ĭreating a patch if you're using Git for version control is similar to CVS, and similarly you don't need an unchanged copy of moodle to diff against. This will give you a nice view of what you have changed. You need a copy of 'standard_moodle' and 'my_moodle'. In this sense it is like the original command-line 'diff' program. WinMerge is a nice windows GUI for comparing folders. Eclipse makes creating patches really easy, once you have got it set up correctly. Then to create the patch, type:ĭiff -Naur standard_moodle my_moodle > patch.txt Suppose these two copies are in folders called 'standard_moodle' and 'my_moodle' which are subdirectories of the current folder. It requires that you have two copies of the code, one with your changes, and one without.
Diff is the a linux command line program, and is where patch files originated.
