Making Patches
Making Patches
I am very interested in helping with this project but I have no idea on how to make patches with git. So, if someone could help me with doing this I would be very happy.
How should I know if it works? That's what beta testers are for. I only coded it.

Re: Making Patches
Nice to read that you want to help.
I assume that you already have git installed, used it to clone the sourcecode repository and that you know how to use a command prompt on your operating system. When this assumption is wrong please say so and I will explain you the details.
1. git add <filename> to add the files you want to include in your patch to the index
2. git commit -m "Description of your changes" to create a commit with the changes you added
3. git format-patch to create a patch file with your commit

You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.
