after a fun ride, i would like some clarification added to https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/wiki/Submitting-a-patch Last paragraph "only a patch file" Wheater "$ git diff > my-patch-for-lmms.diff" works in linux i have no idea. in windows not at all This is needed. If this is added, it will aid users who have made only a patch:
Too detailed? Use whitch part or none you like. For WINDOWS USERS! Install GIT for windows! Run the Git-bash client. It will reside in the system-tray! If you run windows, it is most likely that you want to compare files LOCALLY - This is how to do this, If you use Git LOCALLY eg ON YOUR OWN PC!! This is the syntax for comparing two files, and create a new file as patch-output. Both must be in the git-installation library (same lib as Git 'Bash.vbs') The new file, will -also- be created in the git-installation library: run this cmd IN -!- the git-installation library. (Git-bash win-client will accept win-batch-cmd's (cd: <disk> etc)) : git diff A B > <somePatch.txt> Where: A is the original file. The file that was NOT modified! B is the modified file. somePatch.txt is the new file where the difference between A and B is written as a patch (if it exists it will be overwritten!!) > is a so called 'PIPE' -A cmd for file-writing You should of cause OMMIT < > in the cmd.. Like git diff A B > somefile.txt -- View this message in context: http://linux-multimedia-studio-lmms.996328.n3.nabble.com/supplement-for-dev-wiki-tp9719.html Sent from the lmms-devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
