commit-patch #

Commit patches to Darcs, Git, Mercurial, Bazaar, Monotone, Subversion, or CVS

Installation #

On a recent Debian/Ubuntu:

apt install commit-patch

Anywhere else: Install the prerequisites below and download the release tarball from the homepage. This tarball contains a "fatpacked" version of the commit-patch perl script with the external perl dependencies embedded. Then put the commit-patch and commit-partial binaries into your PATH.

Prerequisites #

commit-patch is known to run on Linux and Mac OS X. It is perl, so ideally it will run anywhere, but we have never tested in other environments, most notably Windows. Use at your own risk.

commit-patch relies on several programs to get the job done:

and, of course, one of:

Installing Prerequisites #

On Debian/Ubuntu:

apt-get install patch patchutils

On Fedora:

yum install patch patchutils

On Mac OS X w/ Homebrew

brew install patchutils

Instructions #

commit-patch #

See the man page or perldoc:

man ./commit-patch.1
perldoc commit-patch

commit-patch-buffer.el #

commit-patch-buffer.el is an emacs interface to commit-patch. It allows you to just hit C-c C-c in any patch buffer to apply and commit only the changes indicated by the patch, regardless of the changes in your working directory.

To use commit-patch-buffer with diff mode automatically, add this to your emacs init file:

(eval-after-load 'diff-mode
  '(require 'commit-patch-buffer nil 'noerror))

The easy way of working with commit-patch-buffer is to M-x vc-diff a file (or M-x vc-root-diff your whole project) then kill, split or edit the resulting hunks using diff mode's built-in commands and to then hit C-c C-c to commit the patch.

Development #

commit-patch uses Carton for local development. Once Carton is installed:

carton install

After than commit-patch and commit-partial should work. There is no need to carton exec them—the code autodetects the local libs.
