This repository contains patch files utilized by Snapfu to update Snap projects. Patch files are ordered by framework and version and currently only support application within a Unix enviroment.
Patch versions are automatically created when a new version of Snap is released - this is done within the Snap monorepo repository.
All files with the version directory will be copied into the project's ./patch directory during patch application. Subsequent patch version applications will clear this directory to prevent contamination.
Valid patch file names (where framework and version match the directory structure the file is part of):
patch.{framework}.{version}.yml
maintenance.{framework}.{version}.yml
The patch files used by Snapfu utilize a specific YAML structure to execute commands and make modifications to files within a project.
To learn more about the available options please see the patch file options readme.
The easiest way to develop and test patches is to do so with Snapfu. This process is also the easiest way to develop Snapfu with new patch file functionality.
Make sure you have Snapfu installed and then run snapfu patch fetch. The patches repository will be cloned into the current users home directory in ~/.searchspring/snapfu-patches. From here, checkout a new branch, and proceed do patch development or experimentation. All snapfu patch commands will now utilize the branch you are modifying allowing you to apply local patch files to local projects.
