really well for me. Is there a particular reason to use patches? Is this
just a matter of personal preference?
Just because it is what I used :) I see it a bit easier and also generates
the patch for the Jira issue, so I think it could be a good way to proceed.
Does anyone have any preference?
I thought there was a requirement that the code change be attached to
the relevant JIRA issue as a patch. Unless that requirement is not
applicable (@mentors: ?), we will still at least need to *generate*
the patch and attach it to the JIRA issue if one exists. Thankfully
GitHub's <pr-href>.patch URL makes that easy.
How the code change is then *actually* applied is, I hope, a matter of
preference. Personally I'm currently tending towards "git am" simply
to be sure that the patch attached to the issue matches the code
change, but that's certainly towards the paranoid end of the spectrum,
I happily admit ;-)
