We may want to work on top of an existing patch and this where rad patch checkout comes into play. So, first we will create a patch to
set up the workflow.
$ git checkout -b flux-capacitor-power
$ touch REQUIREMENTS
Here the instructions are added to the project’s README for 1.21 gigawatts and commit the changes to git.
$ git add REQUIREMENTS
$ git commit -v -m "Define power requirements"
[flux-capacitor-power 3e674d1] Define power requirements
1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 REQUIREMENTS
Once the code is ready, we open (or create) a patch with our changes for the project.
$ git push rad -o patch.message="Define power requirements" -o patch.message="See details." HEAD:refs/patches
✓ Patch aa45913e757cacd46972733bddee5472c78fa32a opened
