Patches

Usage

Import

# Create a skeleton project if you don't have one yet
composer create-project pixelbrackets/patchbot-skeleton my-patches

# Import all patches
./vendor/bin/patchbot import https://github.com/pixelbrackets/patchbot-examples

# Import a single patch only by path
./vendor/bin/patchbot import https://github.com/pixelbrackets/patchbot-examples --path=patches/add-editorconfig

Customize

Each patch has configurable values at the top of the script (package names,
file paths, search strings). Edit them before running the patch.

All patches are idempotent - they skip gracefully when the change was
already applied.

See the Patchbot walkthrough
for a guide on creating and testing patches.

Apply

# Apply a patch to a single repository
./vendor/bin/patchbot patch add-editorconfig git@gitlab.com:user/repo.git

Read the full guides on applying patches to a selected repository
or across many repositories in batch mode.
