# Some Patches
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
... for `nixpkgs` or programs therein.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A patch `<name>-*.patch` is generally for the open source software `<name>` which is added/modified by the nixpkgs overlay in `../overlays/<name>.nix.md`.
|
||
|
|
Patches for `nixpkgs` are applied in `../flake.nix`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To create/"commit" a patch of the current directory vs its latest commit:
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
git diff >.../overlays/patches/....patch
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To test a patch against the repo in CWD, or to "check it out" to edit and then "commit" again:
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
git reset --hard HEAD # destructively reset the working tree to the current commit
|
||
|
|
patch --dry-run -p1 <.../overlays/patches/....patch # test only
|
||
|
|
patch -p1 <.../overlays/patches/....patch # apply to CWD
|
||
|
|
```
