| # How to Submit Patches for libactuator # |
| =========================================== |
| |
| Send changes to libactuator as patches to jiri@resnulli.us. |
| |
| Avoid using attachments because usually it doesn't work. |
| In another words, inline the patch inside the e-mail's body. |
| |
| The simplest workflow to send changes is using git. The following |
| steps will guide you to do the task. |
| |
| 1) Clone the source code on your local machine. |
| $ git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jpirko/libactuator.git |
| |
| 2) Create a local branch for you |
| $ cd libactuator |
| $ git checkout -b testbranch |
| |
| 3) Do your changes |
| <<do some changes>> |
| |
| 4) Commit them to the repository |
| $ git commit -a -s |
| |
| 5) Optionally, you can verify how it looks like in the repo |
| $ git show |
| |
| 6) Extract the patch in a standard format into /tmp directory |
| $ git format-patch origin -o /tmp --subject-prefix "patch libactuator" |
| |
| 7) Use git send-email to send the patch*. |
| $ git send-email /tmp/0001-somepatch.patch --to=jiri@resnulli.us |
| |
| And you are done :) |
| |
| * You may need to configure smtp in order to send emails, so please |
