use git send patch

 搞了一个早上，终于把PATCH提交到社区了，等待审批。

 

1/ git-clone project.repo.git

 

2/ do some modifications

 

3/ git-commit -a -m "your message that will appare as the PATCH title and description"

 

4/ git-format-patch -s origin

    # generate a patch by option

    # -s is add signed-off-by line

    # origin is the original branch that you must not touch

    # this will generate a patch named as "0001xxxx.txt" in the currently directory

 

5/ git-send-email --to to_email@addr_list --cc cc_email@addr_list  0001xxxx.txt

    # this will send the patch as the email body. Also git do some format things for us like as fetch Subject/From lines and so on.

 

OK. 完成了。 这就是一般开发人员提交PATCH的大致过程了，需要注意的是 send-email 用到了 sendmail，我用的debian, 用的是 exim4, 那么就需要配置一下了，google 吧。

 

总有一天会接受我的PATCH的。
