Commit patches to Darcs, Git, Mercurial, Bazaar, Monotone, Subversion, or CVS
On a recent Debian/Ubuntu:
apt install commit-patch
Anywhere else: Install the prerequisites below and download the release
tarball from the homepage. This
tarball contains a "fatpacked" version of the commit-patch perl script
with the external perl dependencies embedded. Then put the commit-patch
and commit-partial binaries into your PATH.
commit-patch is known to run on Linux and Mac OS X. It is perl,
so ideally it will run anywhere, but we have never tested in
other environments, most notably Windows. Use at your own risk.
commit-patch relies on several programs to get the job done:
and, of course, one of:
On Debian/Ubuntu:
apt-get install patch patchutils
On Fedora:
yum install patch patchutils
On Mac OS X w/ Homebrew
brew install patchutils
See the man page or perldoc:
man ./commit-patch.1
perldoc commit-patch
commit-patch-buffer.el is an emacs interface to commit-patch. It
allows you to just hit C-c C-c in any patch buffer to apply and commit
only the changes indicated by the patch, regardless of the changes in
your working directory.
To use commit-patch-buffer with diff mode automatically, add this to your emacs init file:
(eval-after-load 'diff-mode
'(require 'commit-patch-buffer nil 'noerror))
The easy way of working with commit-patch-buffer is to M-x vc-diff a
file (or M-x vc-root-diff your whole project) then kill, split or edit
the resulting hunks using diff mode's built-in commands and to then hit
C-c C-c to commit the patch.
commit-patch uses Carton for
local development. Once Carton is installed:
carton install
After than commit-patch and commit-partial should work. There is no
need to carton exec them—the code autodetects the local libs.
