Hermann, Presuming that you used git to clone the source repository there is one of the few basic git commands to get a properly formatted patch that tracks the source revision. Please use git format-patch to generate diffs based upon the checkout that you worked against. `git format-patch origin/master` As for pull requests in github, you are not too stupid nor too old. Your self deprecation begs for mockery from others. I accept no ageism, my grandmother was an avid computer user, that was self taught when she was 62, on a 8088 IBM PC clone. 1. Fork the pyusb repository. 2. Commit your changes to a branch in your new fork on your computer. 3. Push your changes to in the forked repository on github. 4. Submit a pull request for that new branch against the pyusb repository. Please refer to this documentation from github. https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/ <https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/> Steve
